In regards to point #3, will elpaso.eng/onnv.sfbay support an ssh/hg service as hg.opensolaris.org does? I ask this because the time to clone a gate to my system in Austin, TX varies greatly depending on the protocol used to transfer the data: $ timex hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/onnv/onnv-gate destination directory: onnv-gate requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 7107 changesets with 97565 changes to 50605 files updating working directory 45608 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved real 15:50.05 user 1:46.08 sys 25.74 $ timex hg pull -u -r onnv_94 /net/elpaso.eng/export/gate-hg Not trusting file /net/elpaso.eng/export/gate-hg/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user daemon, group other pulling from /net/elpaso.eng/export/gate-hg requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 7056 changesets with 97244 changes to 50537 files 45551 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved real 4:14:38.71 user 2:03.01 sys 43.32 So cloning a gate via NFS takes about 4 hours longer than doing it via ssh/hg. Note that I'm able clone a Teamware gate in MPK to my Austin system using a script called clone_ws that takes about 16 minutes. The script is probably doing something similar to an hg clone via ssh/hg in that it just transfers the SCCS delta files via a compressed stream then does the sccs gets and creates the nametable locally. -- Will Fiveash Sun Microsystems Inc. http://opensolaris.org/os/project/kerberos/
