The two command line options
-d <WORKDIR>
-p <PORTSDIR>
that portsnap accepts should be adequate for what you
seem to be looking for. I use the second frequently.

Hi, all
I am now using portsnap in FreeBSD 6.0 to upgrade ports tree. It is
really much faster than CVSUp. But there is one question that bother me:
I cannot change the WORKDIR that portsnap use.
I have change WORKDIR in /etc/portsnap.conf to /usr/local/portsnap, but
when using 'portsnap fetch', the download files still store
in /var/db/portsnap.
Any suggestions about this? Thanks in advance!
My /etc/portsnap.conf is as follows:
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/portsnap.conf,v 1.1.2.1 2005/08/15 20:24:07 cperciva
Exp $
# Default directory where compressed snapshots are stored.
WORKDIR=/usr/local/portsnap
Well, it's doesn't seem broken here and mine is exactly like yours.
Are you using portsnap from the base distro or from the ports tree?
I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 and portsnap is from the base distro.
I was under the impression that portsnap from ports used
/usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf so you may try copying your
/etc/portsnap.conf there and see if that fixes something or any-
thing.
I have tried this as you told. it doesn't work either :(
BTW: when I deleted /var/db/portsnap, the next time I use portsnap
like:
#portsnap fetch
message will show as follows:
portsnap: Directory does not exist or is not writable: /var/db/portsnap
any more ideas?
