We are planning to deprecate use of portsnap in ports.

Hi,

Maybe some silly questions already answered:

1) portsnap is populating /usr/ports . Is this location still hardcoded for ports tree installations, or can it be installed anywhere?

2) Should portsnap be a wrapper for GIT/SVN whatever is used?

3) Should /usr/ports be removed from any mtree files?
