I was under the impression that portsnap from ports used /usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf so you may try copying your /etc/portsnap.conf there and see if that fixes something or any- thing. OK. I found the trick finally ;) There is a needless space before 'WORKDIR', which makes portsnap cannot read this line correctly.

Re: portsnap cannot change its default WORKDIR ?
The two command line options -d WORKDIR -p PORTSDIR that portsnap accepts should be adequate for what you seem to be looking for. I use the second frequently.

portsnap cannot change its default WORKDIR ?
Hi, all I am now using portsnap in FreeBSD 6.0 to upgrade ports tree. It is really much faster than CVSUp. But there is one question that bother me: I cannot change the WORKDIR that portsnap use. I have change WORKDIR in /etc/portsnap.conf to /usr/local/portsnap, but when using 'portsnap fetch', the download files still store in /var/db/portsnap. Any suggestions about this? Thanks in advance! My /etc/portsnap.conf is as follows: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/portsnap.conf,v 1.1.2.1 2005/08/15 20:24:07 cperciva Exp $ # Default directory where compressed snapshots are stored. WORKDIR=/usr/local/portsnap # Default location of the ports tree (target for update and extract). # PORTSDIR=/usr/ports # Server or server pool from which to fetch updates. You can change # this to point at a specific server if you want, but in most cases # using a nearby server won't provide a measurable improvement in # performance. SERVERNAME=portsnap.FreeBSD.org # Trusted keyprint. Changing this is a Bad Idea unless you've received # a PGP-signed email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] telling you to # change it and explaining why.
