+
+ &man.portsnap.8; is an alternative system for distributing the
+ Ports Collection. It was first included in &os; 6.0. On older
+ systems, you can install it from sysutils/portsnap port:
+
+ &prompt.root; pkg_add -r portsnap
+
+ Please refer to Using Portsnap
+ for a detailed description of all Portsnap
+ features.
+
+
+ Create an empty directory /usr/ports if it does not exists.
+
+ &prompt.root; mkdir /usr/ports
+
+
+
+ Download a compressed snapshot of the Ports Collection into
+ /var/db/portsnap. You can
+ disconnect from the Internet after this step, if you wish.
+
+ &prompt.root; portsnap fetch
+
+
+
+ If you are running Portsnap for the
+ first time, extract the snapshot into /usr/ports:
+
+
+ &prompt.root; portsnap extract
+
+ If you already have a populated /usr/ports and you are just updating,
+ run the following command instead:
+
+ &prompt.root; portsnap update
+
+
+
+
+
+ Sysinstall Method
+
+ This method involves using sysinstall
+ to install the Ports Collection from the installation media. Note
+ that the old copy of Ports Collection from the date of the release
+ will be installed. If you have Internet access, you should always
+ use one of the methods mentioned above.
