Fix: Portsnap is a system for securely updating the ports tree by distributing signed compressed snapshots. This is the client half of that system; it downloads compressed snapshots into /usr/local/portsnap ("portsnap fetch") and uses those to extract a ports tree into /usr/ports ("portsnap extract") or update an existing tree ("portsnap update"). Portsnap uses bandwidth roughly comparable to CVSup, but operates entirely over HTTP.
As portlint points out, there's an extraneous period at the end of the COMMENT= line; please remove it before committing. (portlint also complains about the string "/sbin/", but this only occurs in a comment.) Colin Percival
