[Patch] Ports and rsync
I've submitted ports/171681[1] with a patch to add rsync to the list of update methods for the ports tree. Hopefully I'm not the only one who desires such functionality.

Or is it maybe specific to a local network and nothing upstream. Not clear the implications, here, or entire scenario of this rsync methodology (I use it readily for a whole bunch of other stuff.) But I look forward to its implementation... if it occurs. J.

But I look forward to its implementation... if it occurs. To my knowledge, the FreeBSD foundation does not offer rsync services for ports, though nothing stops anyone from actually doing so; I run one of my own, updated via portsnap, with a custom overlay for ports that haven't much usefulness outside of my domain. It seems the easiest approach, without having to learn the intricacies of creating and maintaining custom portsnap hosts or trying to set up and feed a subversion server to host my changes. This patch just offers an easy way to invoke rsync via 'make update' without having to dig out the magical rsync invocation flags every time. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net cyber...@cyberleo.net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
