I just recently started using portsnap in lieu of cvsup on my ports tree for FreeBSD-6.0-RELEASE. I thought it was supposed to be more efficient than cvsup, but I'm finding it to be worse. I followed the directions from the Handbook that say to run "portsnap fetch update" to update the ports tree (assuming it's already been set up previously, which I did a couple weeks ago)... but when the fetch finished, it told me that I needed to "run extract before update".
Unfortunately, extract takes forever to run, so this is much worse than running cvsup. Am I doing something wrong? I thought I was following the directions in the Handbook. I ran extract the first time I did it, before running update, why do I need to run it again? -- Peggy Wilkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
