Updating the Ports Collection on FreeBSD

Metoda Portsnap

Portsnap este o alternativă pentru sistemul de distribuire a Colectiei de Porturi. Pentru prima data a fost inclus in FreeBSD 6.0. În sisteme mai vechi, el poate fi instalat din ports-mgmt/portsnap:

# pkg_add -r portsnap

1. Since FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and with recent versions of the Portsnap port or package, you can safely skip this step. The /usr/ports will be created automatically at first use of the portsnap(8) command. With previous versions of Portsnap, you will have to create an empty directory /usr/ports if it does not exists:

   # mkdir /usr/ports
   

2. Download a compressed snapshot of the Ports Collection into /var/db/portsnap. You can disconnect from the Internet after this step, if you wish.

   # portsnap fetch
   

3. If you are running Portsnap for the first time, extract the snapshot into /usr/ports:

   # portsnap extract
   

   If you already have a populated /usr/ports and you are just updating, run the following command instead:

   # portsnap update
