Accidentally deleted /usr/ports/x11/kde3

[ebest97]

Hi. I'm a brand new FreeBSD user and I accidentally deleted /usr/ports/x11/kde3. Is it possible to recover the Makefile's, etc.?

Thanks,
Ethan B

You can always re extract the tree with:

[CMD=""]# portsnap fetch extract [/CMD]

Or, with much less overkill:

[cmd=]cd /usr/ports && portsnap extract x11/kde3[/cmd]

Or, with much less overkill:

[cmd=]cd /usr/ports && portsnap extract x11/kde3[/cmd]

you don't even need to cd to /usr/ports/

I've seen it fail from somewhere else, don't remember where. The command seemed to work, but the port was not extracted.
