Portsnap is a system for securely updating the ports tree by
|
||
|
|
distributing signed compressed snapshots. 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").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Portsnap uses bandwidth roughly comparable to CVSup, but operates
|
||
|
|
entirely over HTTP.
