Ok. Now I understand this, finally. ;)
The reason why I would go for a little older package "snapshot", is that
those packages would be all available. Unfortunately, the current tree
does not have all ports available as packages.
But if I go to an older ports snaphot (e.g. using the time tag), those are
not available either as a complete collection of packages (except for
releases). A complete and recent snaphot of both tree and packages would
be nice...
So, just use the current and get what I can and the rest from sources.
Thanks for all replies!
