1 Portsnap is a system for securely updating the FreeBSD ports tree by
2 distributing signed compressed snapshots over HTTP. This is the
3 client half of that system; it downloads compressed snapshots into
4 /usr/local/portsnap ("portsnap fetch") and uses those to extract
5 a ports tree into /usr/ports ("portsnap extract") or update an
6 existing tree ("portsnap update").
