-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You can't take no for an answer, freebsd-questions! 2011/06/14 17:17:39 -0700 Chuck Swiger <cswiger@mac.com> => To Peter Vereshagin : CS> > Does it keep them? Does portsnap keep snapshots fetched previously? CS> As far as I can tell, you can't. But on every 'portsnap fetch' it tells it downloads a new stuff and doesn't tell it deletes the old? - From what I see in /var/db/portsnap/files/ it keeps every file it had ever downloaded: they all have different times. So it's just a feature that is missing yet from portsnap? or it's never possible by a portsnap's (storage) design which I believe is rather simple? Should it be possible to delete every file newer than the date of my preference and just (something like) 'portsnap extract' then from that storage?

CS> CS> Update the ports tree using cvs/csup, which do support updating to a particular date. I'd prefer svn/p4 for this if I did. Not a big deal though. ;-) 73!
