Description

Portsnap is a system for securely updating the FreeBSD ports tree by distributing signed compressed snapshots over HTTP. This is the client half of that system; it downloads compressed snapshots into /usr/local/portsnap ("portsnap fetch") and uses those to extract a ports tree into /usr/ports ("portsnap extract") or update an existing tree ("portsnap update").

Message after installing

=============================================================================
The portsnap program will fetch the officially signed FreeBSD ports and place
them at /usr/ports.  These are useful to attempt to build ports not yet
imported into dports.

The default values of portsnap work fine in most cases, but it is possible to
alter parameters at /usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf
