Update Ports Collection
The stuff under /usr/ports
is referred as Ports Collection, and we can employ portsnap
command to update it:
(1) If it is the first time to use portsnap
, you should run following command:
# portsnap fetch extract
Otherwise, you can encounter errors as shown here:
......
/usr/ports was not created by portsnap.
You must run 'portsnap extract' before running 'portsnap update'.
(2) Hereafter, you only need to execute "portsnap fetch update
" to update the Ports Collection.
