FreeBSD-8 and portsnap

[M. Vale]

Hi, I can also confirm thist, after isntaling FreeBSD 8 and doing
portsnap fetch, then portsnap extract,

If I do:

cd /usr/ports

then:

make search name=kde4 (for example)

It says there is no index, to make fetchindex.

If I make fetchindex it works ok.

But also works if I type again:

portsnap extract

Only occurs with a fresh install and in the first time you do portsnap
fetch, portsnap extract.

Hope it helps
