# 149027 13-Aug-2005 cperciva

Allow multiple commands to be specified on a single command line, e.g.,
"portsnap fetch update" or "portsnap -I cron update". They will be
executed in the order that they appear, and duplicates are not removed
(so "portsnap fetch fetch fetch fetch" is meaningful, albeit rather
silly).

Requested by: Roman Divacky


# 148871 08-Aug-2005 cperciva

Add portsnap to the base system. This is a secure, easy to use,
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
