well, I could just update the database offline, then use another machine
 download right software and put them in /usr/ports/distfiles...

Hi all:



Is it possible to update the database of ports offline.



It is nice to use "portsnap fetch/extract/update", but I can't use that since 
one of my server has no connection to the internet...

If you have another machine available, it probably makes more sense to build 
the packages there and bring them over.   A ports tree with no internet 
connection is not always useful.  It doesn't contain the source necessary to 
build the packages.
