Bug ID: 255323
Summary: handbook: Discourage use of portsnap, document gitup
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Keywords: needs-patch
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---

portmgr suggests that we update the documentation so that it discourages the
use of portsnap. As a substitute, we can document how to use gitup.
The reasoning behind discouraging the use of portsnap is:
portsnap is fragile, portmgr has had absolutely no success in having
things evolved for years, and while it was great in the old CVS times
where networks were flacky, and CVS was hard to use, there has been
better alternatives, with svn, there was svnup, and with git, there is
gitup. Both use the repository directly, and don't require a third
party middleware.
