In general it's best to avoid mixing update tools unless you fully understand all the corner cases and know it's safe. The most significant problem is they can lose track of what files need to be deleted, which can lead to obsolete patch files being left in the tree. One of the functions of "portsnap extract" is to eliminate extra files in port directories to avoid this problem. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
