The community is hearing conflicting information about this. portsnap is fragile, portmgr has had absolutely no success in having things evolved for years, and while it was great in the old CVS times where networks were flacky, and CVS was hard to use, there has been better alternatives, with svn, there was svnup, and with git, there is gitup. Both use the repository directly, and don't require a third party middleware. --=20 Mathieu Arnold --hyog5b4np3n7h7km Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEVhwchfRfuV0unqO5KesJApEdfgIFAmCBNYlfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDU2 MUMxQzg1RjQ1RkI5NUQyRTlFQTNCOTI5RUIwOTAyOTExRDdFMDIACgkQKesJApEd fgKjVw/+Osi54feOCp63DiYf8k1gLtQRJySKbEj8HaU/czOvxJ+MngGrNPdVmmdB J/fqupA6zvDW8dZ1IiiH9JDzpYkIu5sAUfRNgjCR9Dn65/1aFv/A3VCYivL3r+WX MJOjN/oplgv+aWjeDTJikJW5QpS8tIz+lZmzzJXrgIqrGe8yl4BHE0PI16ZLGKy7 Z6oYXsYff60df7j8k+9jwiPu6aXdcH4VARp++MU7M+f5la2OdzJ56frd9oCwHLLs 85CMdZvaLejtAF6Aet8I0gBojMpWolhxmHl+bPb7vmdMbEWVElM8JaFjDGZ0qzd7 c5SehOKudIlxWT0ErbAHZdaArYO3vNWhjBZTxTD+8MARNbXnBW3GaNVoqt8zjYND 96B3jWj9Ue2PshZbaAlC5TDQpRqD2BBWBSqCX/xSjCd7pSQdizXp08Bpp5IWy5H6 7Szmlb7+RvKUYqaW7OGIYHYhrUCaZ/e/RCLyDVfjwbTeirEbx8YuSjUJB3GV6Wsk ufhfKfGCuFlxkAl32JCi4w2qE+WCwhwKmqr8+M3E0zGnTO8QVSKh3I+EG8oTUeLj dPVIulkFjxtY/rBZzMGVUv9AitIav0NJJPopDC6u7yht+YkSv+lobpM6zVxiSpyh ehQ6rPhPzyrgmmb5Bn8LtXThkp8akNQ1+RNC7j1yRwCon3XU9b0= =8Qtp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hyog5b4np3n7h7km--
