Hi, I'm trying to use portsnap on a 5.4 server which is behind a firewall, so I can't use cvsup (the department that controls the firewall won't open the cvsup port). I have my system setup with my proxy settings so that I can fetch files from the Internet using HTTP or FTP protocol using either the fetch command or FTP. (for instance sudo fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/README.TXT will successfully fetch that file.
I've installed portsnap and setup the conf file, but when I run it with the fetch command, it always says I have the latest snapshot: internal:~% sudo portsnap fetch Password: Fetching updated snapshot tag... done. Latest snapshot on server matches what we already have. No updates needed. internal:~% sudo portsnap update Removing old files and directories... done. Extracting new files: The /usr/ports/UPDATING file never gets updated, so I know it's not working! Any suggestions? Cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
