Comes with the system, is by the same person who wrote portsnap. However, it defaults to doing binary updates of the installed system. You need to tweak the config file if all you want are the system sources.

If you skip this then csup wont delete files removed between the snapshot and the current tree. If you are unlucky that could lead to persistent problems that are hard to diagnose. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
