So, is there some other way to do it? ::Ouch, you wanted SNAP, sorry. Totally overlooked. No, you can't get ::SNAP by sup. snap is not a sup target. ::Then get the sources from SNAP via ftp and build the world. I looked at the 2.2-SNAP files in the src directory on ftp.freebsd.com, and they are organized in an entirely differently way from the "current" and "stable" sources, as would be expected since they are not a sup target. I don't know exactly what to get and how to arrange it so that I can do the build. I've looked at the handbook and it doesn't seem to be there, but if it is I will be happy to read it.
