I was even looking what's the difference. - zfs-snapshot-mgmt *needy ruby* and use crontab - zfsnap pure *shell script* but seems preferred for command line usage - zfs-periodic pure *shell script* designed for periodic In my opinion the closest match for zfs-periodic is sysutils/freebsd-snapshot http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/snapshot/ > Maybe we should consider putting some ZFS snapshot management scripts in > the base to discourage people to come up with their own numerous versions. Yes, but aren't you lucky if you find a port which completes the OS? Have you ever written a PR for freebsd-rc? You will wait until the end of your live before you get a feedback. Ports are mostly the faster way.
