fast, lightweight, and generally good way for users to keep their ports trees up to date. This is version 0.9.4 from the ports tree (sysutils/portsnap) with the following changes: 1. The experimental pipelined http code is enabled. No seatbelts in -CURRENT. (^_^) 2. The working directory has moved from /usr/local/portsnap to /var/db/portsnap (as discussed on -arch two days ago). 3. Portsnap now fetches a list of mirrors (distributed as DNS SRV records) and selects one randomly. This should help to avoid the uneven loading which plagues the cvsup mirror network. 4. The license is now 2-clause BSD instead of 3-clause BSD. 5. Various incidental changes to make portsnap fit into the base system's build mechanics. X-MFC-After: 6.0-RELEASE X-MFC-Before: 5.5-RELEASE X-MFC-To: RELENG_6, RELENG_5, ports discussed on: -arch and several other places "yes please" from: simon, remko, flz, Diane Bruce thinks this is a great idea: bsdimp Hopes he didn't forget any files: cperciva |

Note: If you modify these files, please keep hier(7) updated!
These files are used to create empty file hierarchies for building the
system into. Some notes about working with them are placed here to try
and keep them in good working order.
a) The files use 4 space indentation, and other than in the header
comments, should not contain any tabs. An indentation of 4 is
preferable to the standard indentation of 8 because the indentation
of levels in these files can become quite deep causing the line to
overflow 80 characters.
This also matches with the files generated when using the
mtree -c option, which was implemented that way for the same reason.
b) Only directories should be listed here.
c) The listing should be kept in filename sorted order.
d) Sanity checking changes to these files can be done by following
this procedure (the sed -e is ugly, but fixing mtree -c to
not emit the trailing white space would be even uglier):
mkdir /tmp/MTREE
mtree -deU -f BSD.X.dist -p /tmp/MTREE
mtree -cdin -k uname,gname,mode -p /tmp/MTREE | \
sed -e 's/ *$//' | tail +5 >BSD.X.new
diff -u BSD.X.dist BSD.X.new
rm -r /tmp/MTREE
Note that you will get some differences about /set lines,
and uname= gname= on certain directory areas, mainly man page
sections. This is caused by mtree not having a look ahead
mechanism for making better selections for these as it
traverses the hierarchy.
The BSD.X.new file should NOT be commited, will be missing the
correct header, and important keywords like ``nochange''. Simply
use the diff for a sanity check to make sure things are in the
correct order and correctly indented.
e) Further sanity checking of the system builds with DESTDIR=/someplace
are more complicated, but can often catch missing entries in these
files. I tend to run this more complete sanity check shortly after
the target date for a new release is announced.
