Hello, "portsnap extract" extracts the entire ports tree, "replacing existing files and directories" (from the manpage). "portsnap update" only extracts the updated ports (after a "portsnap fetch") since the last extract or update. Example : Your ports tree is empty... you use "portsnap fetch extract". After some time, some ports are updated. You use "portsnap fetch update" to update your ports tree (after a fetch of course).
