Well, I know that, I were trying to tell that portsnap(8) is fetching HEAD by default and I didn't find any way to change that behavior. So the only way to pick another branch would be fetching the entire svn repository. I need it for development purposes also, so anyway I'd have to do that. But the size of the svn repository causes pure pain. Subversion is not intended for development style that requires keeping lots of branches and tags. Everyone knows that. At the moment, the repository takes ~/> du -h ports-fbsdsvn/ 42G ports-fbsdsvn/ In git, Mercurial, bazaar, well, any modern version control system you can create tons of branches, tags without wasting space or time. -- Cheers~ PGP key fingerprint: 07B3 2177 3E27 BF41 DC65 CC95 BDA8 88F1 E9F9 CEEF You can retrieve my public key at pgp.mit.edu. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
