Are you trying to setup a cvsup mirror? If so, then look at net/cvsup-mirror. That will setup a mirror for you, and it will ask where you want to store the data. If you are just wanting to pull the src tree, then you can use anon cvs and something like: % cd /usr/local/ncvs % setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs % cvs login % cvs co -rRELENG_5 src ... wait for everything to transfer ... % cvs logout CVSROOT is where the repository resides. I.E. in the example above, the repository is located at anoncvs.FreeBSD.org in /home/ncvs. -- Bob Bomar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bomar.us/~bob
Thanks so much for the help. I really wasn't considering a mirror. Getting ready to do an install on an old laptop & an extra PIII my son left here. Since I've already got NFS working, thought I'd use that for the other boxes to pull from. Really still way too much of a greenhorn for mirrors. Maybe eventually I'll try it. Thanks again for the help.
Hi Bob, I have no idea how that happened. I think there was a glitch or operator error in pine's gpg filters. Thanks for replying again. I got to thinking, after reading some of the stuff in the cvs & stable mailing list, that there could be just a messup in the make code. I pulled the entire src tree along with docs, ports, & www again. This time, it all makes fine. But, regardless of where I put the files as in cd /usr cvs -d /usr/local/ncvs co www and the subdir www is created & all the files for www are put there, when I do a make install, it still insists on putting the files in root's dir, & I just don't have enough room on that partition. I even did a cd into /usr/www/en & did make install. It still insisted on installing all the translations, not just english, & of course, all of it into /root. Basically, I just want to keep a fresh copy of the english stuff on this box for me & my kids, who are becoming interested in windows alternatives, esp fbsd, since I've gotten involved again with it. If you can maybe point me in the right direction as to a switch, argument, option, etc., that I can use with the make install command, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll probably have to abandon the idea for now. More important stuff for me to learn, like choosing the right branch/release, upgrading my system, merging /etc, & so forth. Thanks again for the help you've given.
