# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

Markup fixes.


# 149824 06-Sep-2005 cperciva

Teach portsnap how to ignore unwanted parts of the ports tree. A line
of the form "REFUSE foo" in portsnap.conf will result in parts of the
tree matching "^foo" being (a) not extracted by "portsnap extract", (b)
not updated by "portsnap update", and (c) not having any patches or new
ports downloaded by "portsnap fetch" or "portsnap cron". The example
shown in portsnap.conf demonstrates ignoring all the language categories.

As mentioned in portsnap.conf.5, the use of an imcomplete ports tree is
not officially supported; but this is something which many users have
requested, so I'm adding it anyway.

# 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.
