"extracted" is wrong: it should be "updated". However, it is misleading because it doesn't tell you *how* you can quickly update the ports, which is obviously what most people want to do. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: o If your clock is set to local time, adding the line 0 3 * * * root /usr/sbin/portsnap cron update to /etc/crontab is a good way to make sure you always have an up-to- date snapshot of the ports tree in /usr/ports. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
