Portsnap vs cvsup

2010-03-15 Thread mailinglist
What is the difference between using portsnap and cvsupping a ports supfile? The last time I really used FreeBSD was several years ago, but it seems that portsnap has replaced cvsup ports-supfile. What exactly is the difference between the two? What makes portsnap the better option?

2010-03-15 Thread Alejandro Imass
Hi, I tried upgrading from 6.2 STABLE to 7.3 RELEASE, and everything went very smooth until I rebooted the new kernel. Make installworld failed complaining that cc1 was not executable. After a lot of tests, I came to the conclusion that the new 7.3 kernel had some sort of problem with my gvinum
