Just fine. The author even added the -l option at my request so you can still use portsnap's INDEX updating stuff. You just need to collect the results of "make describe" in your local ports and pass the file containing it as the argument to -l when updating. I'm using it at work with a wrapper script that updates my local ports via subversion and updates official ports via portsnap on one go. - -Brooks --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGHE9bXY6L6fI4GtQRAvleAKCz1Hx0abh/4g+oZQZvbcNQUH/hXACggvd+ 46oxFoMzt9oJD80PFrbeHt0= =eKvJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq--
