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.

which have configuration files. This is just a cut-paste from newsyslog.8
with the following changes:
o Kill hard sentence breaks.
o Markup fixes.
o Wordsmithing.
- Sort MAN and MLINKS in "dictionary" order ignoring case.
- For multi-value MAN and multi-pair MLINKS, put each value/pair
on its own line, for easier sorting and so that further diffs
are easier to see.
This is an optional feature, disabled by default.
This will be useful to people testing the various POSIX threading
libraries under -CURRENT but can easily serve other needs.
configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.
