Why does my ports tree not get updated ?

[Manish Jain]

Hi,


Every time after I install FreeBSD, I run 'portsnap fetch extract' to 
create the ports directory.


But after a few days, my ports dir and the latest ports dir begin to 
differ and the latest changes

in the latest ports dir do not reflect in my ports hierarchy even after 
I run 'portsnap update'.


The only way I can get the latest ports dir is to 'rm -rf /usr/ports' 
and recreate the ports hierarchy

all over again.


What am I doing wrong on account of which my ports hierarchy is not in 
sync with the latest changes ?



Thanks for any help.
