Supersede portsnap by a Git repository
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=df53ae0fdd98e9452095ac2fdaf95fcfac8c9c7f portsnap has been deprecated.

The new recommended way is to use a Git repository.

As ports can or can't be installed, I suggest:

  • to run git init . in /usr/ports, then add https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git as remote
  • NOT TO BE DEPLOYED ON LEGACY WINDRIVER git reset --hard origin/main
  • add /var/db/portsnap to old files to prune

As WindRiver have ports modification working on, we can use portsnap to get to the last Latest version, then git reset origin/main to identify the differences.

dereckson merged a task: T1944: Ensure portsnap is available where we use ports.

Per T1944, the repository must be available BEFORE the first port build, so should be provided as part of the core role.

Salt deployment of /usr/ports as Git repository done.

Next step is to check a diff for WindRiver to identify previous work on the server.

If needed, old /usr/ports content is available at /arcology/sortme/usr/ports
