1 Hello all,
2
3 There's a person on gentoo-user questioning where he can get a portage
4 snapshot later than portage-20030914.tar.bz2 as he wants to update openssh
5 but can't emerge sync due to his firewall.
6
7 How are the snapshots generated? Automatically once a week? Maybe a snapshot
8 should be manually generated whenever a security fix is added to portage to
9 cater for this situation?
