From the commit log: Add portsnap to the base system. This is a secure, easy to use, fast, lightweight, and generally good way for users to keep their ports trees up to date. In particular, users who just want to keep their ports tree up to date and don't want to do anything unusual (keeping a complete repository, checking out old versions of the ports tree, getting themselves rooted via a man-in-the-middle attack on cvsup, etc.) will probably find that portsnap is a very useful tool. There are several changes between the version in the ports tree and the version I committed to HEAD, but the only one which most users should notice is that the default location of portsnap's compressed snapshot has moved from /usr/local/portsnap to /var/db/portsnap . Please test. The more people I see testing portsnap (I can see this via the log files on the portsnap mirrors), the sooner it will get MFCed to RELENG_6 and RELENG_5. :-) Colin Percival
