portsnap base thought

[Peter van Dijk]

Hi,

portsnap requires that the /usr/ports on a machine was created with
portsnap extract, before it will allow you to portsnap update.

Suggestion: make the portstree as delivered in 6.0-RELEASE (on the CD
etc.) compatible with portsnap extract, so people can use portsnap
from a base CD install without having to fetch the portstree through
portsnap first. I do realise this might bloat the CD image by about
50 megabytes (because of /var/db/portsnap) but I think it's worth it.

Cheers, Peter
