question about portsnap or cvsup

[skoinga]

Hi,

on my FreeBSD box, I've used initially portsnap to keep update the ports tree.
After, I've used for a while csup.
I've read in this forum that "mixing" the use of portsnap and csvup isn't good; so now I want to continue only with portsnap (which is better.. right?).
How can I "reset" the ports tree and start using only portsnap correctly?
Thankyou

# rm -rf /usr/ports/*
# portsnap fetch extract

Probably just starting as if it were the first time you used portsnap is sufficient.
# portsnap fetch extract

Then just do the updates with # portsnap fetch update as usual.

Not necessarily. There isn't really a "better" tool. Just personal preference.
