Since "portsnap' has been failing on my system, I tried a different approach and decided to rebuild the port entirely rather than just download an updated snapshot. This is the result of just such a venture:
portsnap fetch extract Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap5.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap6.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap4.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. You will notice that all the mirrors appear broken. Now, I can reach the FreeBSD web site, and every other site I commonly visit without a problem; therefore, I believe the problem resides somewhere with the portsnap mirrors. Can anyone confirm or further thesis this thesis? -- Jerry ✌ [email protected] Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
