Ports and system sources are managed independently. You can use whatever tool you want. Note that portsnap _might_ not deliver the most current ports tree for a given point in time. For "short time deltas", CVS has often proven to be the better tool, but of course portsnap has significant advantages (e. g. faster for longer pauses between ports tree updates, better integration with "make update" target). Depending on your updating habits, choose the tool that works best for you. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
