Hi all,
portsnap is a very nice way to keep your ports tree in sync, but it has
the disadvantage that it keeps your ports tree in sync :) If you make
local changes (e.g. adding a patch) they get clobbered. Does anyone know
of a convenient way to keep ports up to date while preserving local
patches?
One way to keep your local changes is to use cvs to checkout and
update the ports tree, you then make your modifications to the port.
You will need to fix any conflicts manually between an updated port
and your changes.
