Portsnap
Portsnap is used to update the FreeBSD ports tree
portsnap fetch
This will fetch a new copy of the ports tree
portsnap extract
This will extract the new tree to /usr/ports
Finding Ports
find /usr/ports/ -name <NAME OF PORT>*
or
locate <NAME OF PORT>
Installing Ports
cd /usr/ports/<CATEGORY>/<PORT> make install
If make config hasn't been run previously, then make config will also pop up.
Removing Ports
cd /usr/ports/<CATEGORY>/<PORT> make deinstall
Making Changes / Reinstalling Ports
cd /usr/ports/<CATEGORY>/<PORT> make config make deinstall ;; make reinstall
make reinstall won't overwrite existing configs.
Clean Up
make clean
clears out the working directory
Resetting Configs
make rmconfig
resets the make config back to default
Portsnap and Proxy Servers
If your FreeBSD server sits behind a proxy server then you will have trouble performing a portsnap fetch.
To get around this set the following environment variables.
Note: I find it easier to export env vars with the 'sh' shell as opposed to the 'csh' shell.
sh export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxyip:proxyport/ export HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:username:password
This should allow you to authenticate and perform updates through the proxy.
