"Portsnap is a system for securely downloading and updating a  
compressed snapshot of the FreeBSD ports tree, and using this  
compressed snapshot to extract or update a (uncompressed) copy of the  
ports tree.
Historically, most people have used CVSup to keep their ports tree up  
to date, but CVSup has a number of limitations:"
