Hey all :) -- I'd usually use Cvsup, but decided to finally bite the bullet & go with portsnap,(ver. 1.1,[Latest]) for better security,(portinstall'd this weeks version) but it just WON'T friggen work for me... and Google is of no help, neither is the Handbook :( -- Some of the errors reported can be seen below.
... The below be a sampling of errors I've been receiving at different attempts over the last few days, some errors be completely different & come from running portsnap just seconds/minutes apart from last attempts :( -- Help please -- THANKS :D
Ps. Results from a proper googled phrase search of main keywords.
==> Your search - +portsnap +"invalid snapshot tag." - did not match any documents.
WTF! Nothing in the entire google archives for this simple & consise phrase? Did the error messages just recently change with latest portsnap,.. seriously, WTF!?
PPs. I'm currently running with a system base,(I'd guess you'd call it) from 5.3 Release.
Though I'm up-to-date with security & any apps I use frequently that benefited from updating etc..
THANKS AGAIN FOR ANY AND ALL HELP :)
