The ports collection cannot be tracked that way with portsnap, as far as I know, as it is in "ongoing flow"; with portsnap, you always get the latest snapshot of that tree. For a more "precise" selection you'd have to checkout the tree using subversion (svn). In this case, you can specify the point in time, for example, the tree corresponding to 10.3-RELEASE, or a quarterly snapshot, or the snapshot that existed at the time of a specific -STABLE version. OS versions and ports revisions aren't exactly "hard tied" to each other. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
