Hello.
Is there any way to compact /var/db/portsnap other than deleting it
and doing postsnap fetch?
I don't like portsnap -- granted I've never typed the portsnap command in my 10 years of FreeBSD
use. I use cvsup!
More info:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
QUick HOW-TO
Make a file called /usr/src/ports-supfile
-------------------------------------------------
#/usr/src/ports-supfile
*default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
-------------------------------------------------
Then, run this command:
cvsup /usr/src/ports-supfile
If you don't have cvsup installed, run this command:
# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
For more info on the supfile, look at this file on your FreeBSD machine:
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
Preferring cvsup to portsnap is kinda like preferring vim over emacs... It's a holy war and the
vi/cvsup side uses less disk space.
