This should not be done.
You dont really need to upgrade daily, you are just overloading
freebsd
cvsup servers.
That's not true...
I'm running FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT. Keeping a local CVS mirror which is
updated once a day and test build/run on my machine is the least I
can
do to help in testing the -CURRENT branch. The mirror I use is the
one
that is closest to me (cvsup2.gr.freebsd.org).

My comment is still applicable. If you just run a cvs mirror,
just fetch the source code. You dont need to test to know whether if
compiles or not. I think noone really helps to freebsd by compiling
the source code every day looking for errors.
Maybe I'm way off here because I do not do any such testing as Giorgos
suggests, but how are the developers supposed to supply patches for
problems if -CURRENT builds are in fact not built, and build-errors not
found?
I would think that it would be easier to mirror the tree, and build
daily/weekly etc to find build errors than it would be to review the
source code line-for-line to find the bugs.
It is better to test and
contribute code.
How do you suggest testing without building? I believe that Giorgos is
suggesting that *is* what he is doing...building, locating bugs, fixing
(contributing/committing code).
Could someone with more experience clarify this? This is quite a confusing
thread.
