How are my ports in /usr/pors. It will replace them? And for > update ports is git update https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports > /usr/ports I believe svn is still the most fully up-to-date way to track ports tree. This was also true for src and doc trees prior to the recent switch to git. As I remember, FreeBSD used csup for src and doc trees, also ports tree, but switched to svn in 2012 because of a security breach with csup. I used portsnap before that for the ports tree, but then switched to svn, since I was tracking src and doc trees and was motivated by one-stop shopping. I expect to switch to git with ports tree as well around the end of March when the ports tree is expected to switch from svn to git. I suspect portsnap will no longer be workable. Tom
