I set up a local cvsupd and it now takes under 10 seconds to update any branch, as compared to 5-7 minutes cvs took. There's probably not much you can do apart from not checking out full trees unless you really need them. You see, I use different branches in jails and on boxes, so it makes sense to get the whole repo over the net and sync to the branches locally. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The cvsup manpage quite reasonably provides a description: DESCRIPTION CVSup is a software package for distributing and updating collections of files across a network. The name CVSup refers to the package as a whole. It consists of a client program, cvsup, and a server program, cvsupd. [ ... ] Unlike more traditional network distribution packages, such as rdist and sup, CVSup has specific optimizations for distributing CVS repositories. CVSup takes advantage of the properties of CVS repositories and the files they contain (in particular, RCS files), enabling it to perform updates much faster than traditional systems. :-) CVS is a software version management system, CVSup is a distribution mechanism which understands CVS well. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
