Apologies to everyone who has run portsnap in 7.0-CURRENT since
Tuesday; if there is a file "/.portsnap.INDEX" on your system, you can
delete it (or even better, move it to /usr/ports/.portsnap.INDEX).

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.

changed this behaviour, but its better to ignore errors other than
EEXIST, so daemon can be started on systems where /var/ file system
doesn't support locking (like NFS without rpc.lockd(8)).

Trim trailing whitespace and comments before parsing, and skip empty lines.
Skip subvendor / subdevice entries (which start with two tab characters).
Change the scanf() format string to match any amount and type of whitespace
between the device ID and the description text.

1. Provide larger /, /var, and /tmp partitions (the last increase was
in 2001, and we now have both larger hard drives and more space-hungry
software.)
2. If there is enough space available, allocate extra space to /var
sufficient to store a crash dump.
On systems where harddrivesize > 3 * RAMsize + 10GB, the default sizes
will now be as follows:
swap RAMsize * 2
/ 512 MB
/tmp 512 MB
/var 1024 MB + RAMsize
/usr the rest (8GB or more)
On systems where harddrivesize > RAMsize / 8 + 2 GB, the default sizes
will be in the following ranges, with space allocated proportionally:
swap RAMsize / 8 -- RAMsize * 2
/ 256 MB -- 512 MB
/tmp 128 MB -- 512 MB
/var 128 MB -- 1024 MB
/usr 1536 MB -- 8192 MB
On systems with even less disk space, the existing behaviour is not
changed.

in sysctl_jail_list(). Because of this, jls(8) could enter into
an endless loop. The strange thing is, that we can call jls(8) while
the other one is in loop and it will succeed - SYSCTL_OUT() will
not return ENOMEM there.
Maybe SYSCTL_OUT() returns first ENOMEM, because there is no memory,
but is marking some memory range as wired even on failure and another
SYSCTL_OUT() calls are not going to succeed, because process exceeds
limit of wired memory? ENOVMCLUE.
Anyway. Fix jls(8) to ignore ENOMEM and retry only 4 times.

missing from ${WORKDIR}/files/.
This bug was caused by the astonishing interaction of "return" and
pipelines; in the following code, the "return" does not exit the
function, but instead exits the subshell which was spawned for the last
element of the pipeline; consequently, the output produced is "foo".
foo() {
echo bar | while read baz; do
if [ ${baz} = "bar" ]; then
return 1
fi
done
echo foo
}

"portsnap fetch update" or "portsnap -I cron update". They will be
executed in the order that they appear, and duplicates are not removed
(so "portsnap fetch fetch fetch fetch" is meaningful, albeit rather
silly).

This allows mtree to do a generally better job of things when uid != 0.

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.

it is running during installations. The vsystem() function does get
used after this happens (e.g. if you manually configure the network
interface and ask it to enable the interface) so it needs to be a
little smarter about whether it uses /stand/sh or /bin/sh.
