Hi, This is the result of running 'portsnap fetch' tonight: Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap3.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... done. Updating from Fri Oct 5 16:39:29 CDT 2007 to Wed Nov 7 17:22:07 CST 2007. Fetching 4 metadata patches... done. Applying metadata patches... done. Fetching 4 metadata files... done. Fetching 2125 patches.....10....20....30....40....50....60....70....80....90....100....110....120....130....140....150....160....170....180....190....200....210....220....230....240....250....260....270....280....290....300....310....320....330....340....350....360....370....380....390... done. Applying patches... done. Fetching 1882 new ports or files... done. I'm wondering why it says 'fetching 2125 patches...' and then downloading only 396 of them. It took a lot of time to download these patches as well (I use a very fast internet connection). My guess is that there's something wrong with the server and that portsnap could not finish downloading all the patches. Rerunning it does not help, as it says: Latest snapshot on server matches what we already have. No updates needed. I have not run 'portsnap update' yet since I was afraid it might ruin my ports tree. Is there anyway to force portsnap fetch a new snapshot without telling me 'no updates needed'? Thanks, Novembre
