This just saves you download time, as you don't have to download the same unmodified files friom the collection, you just get the differences. This has a drawback of if you have fsck'd up your ports tree, you won't be able to restore it unless you store all the deltas. > Jud > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- DoubleF Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. --Signature=_Wed__7_Jan_2004_08_24_50_+0300_7xlMdp0+k5orQJj0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/+5guwo7hT/9lVdwRAlLXAJ9VYw1MI0oXOIRwjm8Y67+3dnhSnACcDhtn HkvSSdirkIkBBnq64t5LiTM= =eHV5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Wed__7_Jan_2004_08_24_50_+0300_7xlMdp0+k5orQJj0--
