    Hello,

      I am using portsnap to update my ports tree like following:

      1. Calling portsnap cron from root's cron
      2. Updating ports tree using portsnap -I update from root's cron

      But it does not update anything by portsnap cron. In
      /usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf I have:

      WORKDIR=/usr/local/portsnap
      PORTSDIR=/usr/ports

      Files in WORKDIR are dated to Aug 25. So I assume calling portsnap
      cron results in failure (both with -f /usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf or
      without it).

      Can anyone advise me on this one please?
