I'm not sure what you are saying here, if you ran portsnap twice in succession then the second run shouldn't need any downloads. If you deleted portsnap's data in between then that's what I'd expect. portsnap can request updates to ports or files, but the initial download is a single large file which it can't customize. ___ 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

It's certainly making some assumptions that are not explicitly laid out in the manual page. Well for a test I ran portsnap with out any portsnap.conf file. The download process took 16 minuets. The I mv portsnap.conf.sample to portsnap.conf and added REFUSE for all the categories except sysutils. Reran the portsnap and still it took 16 minuets. What gives here?? You could check whether the REFUSEd parts are getting updated after all, then you could check whether they're in the downloaded snapshot. My tech support crystal ball predicts that you will find your REFUSE entries aren't really matching. Could be wrong, but at least the tests I suggested would point you in the right direction if it's right. ___ 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
