Greetings:
Can i perform a ports upgrade to a computer that has no internet
connection by ftping the file /pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
and replacing the /usr/ports/ directory
with the uncompressed version of this file? please let me know your
opinion to solve my problem.
It is only the beginning. You also have to download the distfiles for
each of the ports that you want to update. You could also download the
packages and bypass building the ports.
I don't think the packages will be as uptodate as the port structure
that you would download. They require hours to build. Where as, the
port structure can be tarballed fairly quickly every day.
