Downloading ports tree again
I have used portsnap to download the ports tree. Recently, I've removed /usr/ports/* and now need to download the ports tree again. However, running portnap fetch results in: Ports tree hasn't changed since last snapshot No updates needed How can I 'reset' portsnap and get the ports tree again? Thanks! -- Trey Sizemore [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would first try a portsnap extract and see if this extracts the whole ports tree again (from what I understand from the man page, it will) Otherwise, portsnap saves its state in /var/db/portsnap. You could try deleting the files in there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
