I'm surprised with this!

DRI CVS rsync mirror
====================

============
How to use the CVS rsync mirror
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To download or update a branch do something like:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
rsync -avz --delete rsync://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/dri/branch/ branch/
-------------------------------------------------------------------
where 'branch' is one of the CVS branches or 'HEAD' for the CVS trunk. Be
careful with the trailing '/' or you might end downloading everything again.
How to setup a CVS rsync mirror
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Edit repos.sh for the CVS access details.
2. Run checkout.sh with the branches to mirror:
./checkout.sh HEAD blablabla-0-0-1-branch ...
3. Create a /etc/rsyndc.conf with something like:
-------------------------------------------------
# rsyncd.conf configuration file
log file = /var/log/rsyncd
[dri]
comment = DRI CVS rsync mirror
path = /home/jfonseca/projects/dri/rsync/
-------------------------------------------------
4. Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf
----------------------------------------------------------------
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
----------------------------------------------------------------
5. Run update.sh periodically by adding something like the following line to
your crontab:
--------------------------------------------------------------
02 4 * * * cd ~/projects/dri/rsync && ./update.sh > /dev/null
--------------------------------------------------------------
See rsync and rsyncd.conf man pages for more information.
