Yup.  'portsnap fetch update' is the command I use-- the reverse 
order that you're using 'em in.


Shouldn't I just need one of the two?

-Dan


Nope.  fetch fetches the latest snapshot; update unpacks it.  extract 
does the ENTIRE snapshot again, but that's generally not needed after 
the first time.
