The good news is this is well documented in the
handbook here:
Using the Ports Collection.
One popular method is to use portsnap.
The
first time you update your ports tree using portsnap, run:
Code:
# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract
After that, any time you want to update your ports tree using portsnap, run:
Code:
# portsnap fetch
# portsnap update
