Is it possible that you have a misbehaving proxy which is caching a month-old snapshot? Colin Percival Oh, crap. The god of portsnap and things FBSD has spoken and said I'm a dipshit. And of course he's right ;) Yeah, it goes through squid cause IIRC you suggested it. It speeds up multi-machine updates a bunch. But when they all started doing the same thing, I figured it was something on the servers. I've been snapping for over a year, and it's always worked great through squid. Don't know what changed, but I gave squid a re-init, and portsnap is fetching 6200 patches. I should probably just blow out ports and start from scratch at this point.

That's really strange. And it doesn't happen for me. Is it possible that you have a misbehaving proxy which is caching a month-old snapshot?

what's up with portsnap?
Hope this hasn't been asked 2^32 times; didn't see anything in the recent archives. What is up with the portsnap servers? I saw the announcement that "ports was frozen for the new XOrg blah... blah...". Is that still the case? Try to fetch and it says: # portsnap fetch Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap3.FreeBSD.org... done. Latest snapshot on server is older than what we already have! Cowardly refusing to downgrade from Thu May 10 10:42:40 EDT 2007 to Mon Apr 16 10:17:39 EDT 2007. And even if it was "frozen" how did I get to May 10, if it was frozen at Apr 16?! I've ONLY used portsnap, not cvs for updates. Oh yeah -- running 6.2-Release. -Thanks, Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
