Just wondering if somebody could take a look at this patch for the handbook in regard to portsnap. Thanks. Thanks for the submission! We'll definitely take a look at it, but I personally just don't have time at the moment to properly review the patch. Thanks for putting this together. It was going to need at least some minor editing (to capitalize "Portsnap" and put it in an <application> tag), and I ended up doing some fairly heavy rewording as well while I was there. Please take a look at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27843 and see if it covers what you think is needed. Benjamin, I'm not sure who you intended to review the edits/changes you made but they look OK to me. I think it can be committed to the docs repo as you have it. yoink after checking with bjk A commit in branch main references this bug: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=554d62acd0880b3f8f9ad6f10d3f302915e7a37a commit 554d62acd0880b3f8f9ad6f10d3f302915e7a37a Author: Ceri Davies <ceri@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-06-29 20:32:05 +0000 Commit: Ceri Davies <ceri@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-06-29 20:32:05 +0000 handbook/ports: Note that portsnap only tracks the main branch.

Created attachment 219841 [details] svn diff of en_US.ISO8859-1/handbook/ports/chapter.xml I added some wording, to the ports chapter of the handbook, where it explains the use of portsnap(Procedure 4.1). The new wording explains which branch of the Ports Collection is used by portsnap. I wasn't able to easily find this information so I thought it should be included in the handbook. Please consider the diff and if you think the added explanation is appropriate and accurate please commit it. This bug report is a follow-up to one I submitted recently which is 251195.
