Wildly different numbers of portsnap updates between i386 and amd64?

[Christian Campbell]

Hi. I run 9.1-RELEASE on two boxes: one i386 and the other amd64. I've run
the latter for a bit over a week. When I portsnap update, the 32-bit
machine typically gets several to dozens or hundreds of updates, while the
64-bit machine typically gets none, or maybe a couple. What might be the
explanation for this behaviour?

Thank you,
Christian

Duplicate files on distro ISO

[Christian Campbell]

I just tried creating a bootable USB stick with UNetbootin
from FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso. The stick was blank (newly
formatted). While UNetbootin worked it asked about overwriting the
following files:


> /usr/bin/cc

/usr/bin/cc

/usr/bin/mail

/usr/share/man/man1/cc.1.gz

/usr/share/man/man1/mail.1.gz

/usr/share/man/man3/archive_read_open_file.3.gz

/usr/share/man/man3/archive_write_open_file.3.gz

/usr/share/man/man3/execvp.3.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/altq.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/cam.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/fdt.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/geom.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/i386/pae.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/scsi.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man4/smp.4.gz

/usr/share/man/man8/nis.8.gz

/usr/share/man/man8/yp.8.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/alq.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/altq.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/bus_bind_intr.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/bus_describe_intr.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/bus_setup_intr.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/bus_teardown_intr.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/eventhandler_deregister.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/eventhandler_register.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/m_move_pkthdr.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/m_prepend.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/rtfree.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/sysctl_add_oid.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/vfs_mount.9.gz

/usr/share/man/man9/vref.9.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/bn_print.3.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/hmac.3.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/md5.3.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/mdc2.3.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/pem.3.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/rc4.3.gz

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/ssl.3.gz


So, the files seem to be in the ISO twice each. FWIW:

1. I said 'no' to each overwrite.
2. The files deposited on the stick had capitalised names, like /usr/bin/CC
.

Does the above pose a problem?
Thanks,
Christian
