My favorite is ctm. http://www.openbsd.org/ctm.html I don't think you really want the whole repo on a firewall tho. > Since I'm on a _s_l_o_w_w_w_ link, I don't want to suck the whole > repository across the net.

There are tarballs of cvs *checkouts* of the base sources, the XFree86 sources, and the ports Makefiles/patches. The files are src.tar.gz, XF4.tar.gz, and ports.tar.gz, respectively, and are also on the ftp site and it's mirrors. I think this is what you're looking for. http://www.openbsd.org/cvs.html is a good reference. I would also suggest using cvs instead of cvsup. A little slower, but from what I hear, more reliable. One other thing, since this is a firewall, you probably won't need to use cvs, you can just get the individual patches, which would be the least network traffic. -> http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html > Would somebody be willing to lend me an OpenBSD 2.9 CD-ROM at this > Thursday's meeting? > I would, but I won't be there.
