Yes, it does. I will guess that I must have done something to my ports tree (absentmindedly no doubt) that made it not work before.

If you do, you're going to have to use extract the next time you use portsnap.

The first time you run portsnap: # portsnap fetch # portsnap extract Subsequent usage: # portsnap fetch update Did you run `extract' after your original `fetch'? Yes, I did; I followed the instructions exactly. I ran portsnap for the first time a couple weeks ago after which I successfully did a bunch of portupgrades. Then the ports tree sat there on my disk untouched for a couple of weeks until I ran "portsnap fetch update" today. For some reason it insisted that I needed to run "extract" when as far as I can tell that shouldn't have been necessary. Is there some configuration information I should be mentioning? I haven't changed anything in /etc/portsnap.conf, I am using all the defaults. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Why do I have to keep doing "portsnap extract"?
I just recently started using portsnap in lieu of cvsup on my ports tree for FreeBSD-6.0-RELEASE. I thought it was supposed to be more efficient than cvsup, but I'm finding it to be worse. I followed the directions from the Handbook that say to run "portsnap fetch update" to update the ports tree (assuming it's already been set up previously, which I did a couple weeks ago)... but when the fetch finished, it told me that I needed to "run extract before update". Unfortunately, extract takes forever to run, so this is much worse than running cvsup. Am I doing something wrong? I thought I was following the directions in the Handbook. I ran extract the first time I did it, before running update, why do I need to run it again? -- Peggy Wilkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
