It seems to be keeping some meta information file somewhere and has FAILED to give me a local mirror (not one to be publicly available) yet. Being the stubborn person I am, I have multiple times cleared some and all of the following to try to resolve the problem... /usr/local/etc/cvsup the package itself /home/ncvs /home/cvsupin /usr/ports/ports/net/cvsup-mirror And each time it takes ~5 hours to download 1.5GB of data in /home/ncvs then a client connecting to itself fails to work.

It can't find ANYTHING. Other problems included the inability to even select the src-all/cvs or ports-all/cvs (trees? branches?) in the server, yet it has 1.5GB downloaded. What'd help me to learn what's wrong is the line in config.sh as below: distribs=distrib.self .. . FreeBSD.cvs /home/ncvs . FreeBSD-www.current SKIP . FreeBSD-gnats.current SKIP gnats FreeBSD-mail.current SKIP . My guess is it names a distribution and puts a directory it stores the files into in the next argument, separated by space. Next distribution is named and it's directory it stores the files into as the next one past that, with all distributions separated by a single period. Then the word 'gnats' throws me off because I . don't know what the heck it's there for.. is the '.' an alias instead to the first item in the line, meaning it's a tuple? (distrib storedir alias)... What throws me off is that the /usr/local/etc/cvsup directory was tarred up from a working mirror and copied here and let the update.sh run for 5 hours, to come to the above quoted warnings (but I'm treating them as errors). The working system has about 4GB in /home/ncvs that works for me, but this one can't get past 1.5GB. Working system has been working beautifully for several months (6?).. so maybe it's just collective.

Re: CVSUP Mirror
Lonnie Santella wrote: This all checks out correctly. I'm basically using almost entirely defaults here. My supfile on my mirror server looks identical to yours. This is driving me crazy. The one thing I wonder is, how does my cvsup mirror server know how to share it's full ports tree? None of the config files I see mention anything about ports. During the initial make of the cvsup-mirror, I chose NOT to mirror the src, www, gnats - and nothing was mentioned about ports. I'm confused. Why is it, if this was built from ports, and I ran the full make and make install with no errors, that this thing won't work? I thought that was why we install from ports... Did you have to configure something else specifically to allow your ports collection to be shared via the cvsupd daemon? OK, I'm trying to recreate what you have as I'm typing this reply. This is the results of make in /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror: Stargate# make === Configuring for cvsup-mirror-1.3_2 I am going to ask you a few questions so that I can set up your FreeBSD mirror configuration. Every question has a [default] answer. To accept the default, just press ENTER. At this point, I am just gathering information. I will not touch your system until you type make install. Master site for your updates [cvsup-master.freebsd.org]? 192.168.0.20 How many hours between updates of your files [1]? Now you must decide which sets of files you wish to make available from your mirror site. You can choose any combination, and you can put each set anywhere you want to on your disks. Although each set is optional, we strongly encourage every mirror site to carry at least the main source repository. Do you wish to mirror the main source repository [y]? n Do you wish to mirror the installed World Wide Web data [y]? n Do you wish to mirror the GNATS bug tracking database [y]? n Do you wish to mirror the mailing list archive [y]? n Now, a few questions so that I can set up your CVSup server properly. For security reasons, both the CVSup client and server should run under their own unique user and group IDs. These IDs should have no special access privileges. Normally, the user:group cvsupin:cvsupin is used for the client and cvsup:cvsup is used for the server, but you can choose other names if you wish. At make install time, I will create the users and groups, if they don't already exist. Use unique user and group IDs for these. Do not use nobody, nonroot, or nogroup. Unique unprivileged user ID for running the client [cvsupin]? Unique unprivileged group ID for running the client [cvsupin]? Unique unprivileged user ID for running the server [cvsup]? Unique unprivileged group ID for running the server [cvsup]? The CVSup server does its logging via syslog. At make install time, I will set up the logging for you, if necessary. I will use the !program feature of syslog to keep your CVSup log messages separate from the messages of your other daemons. Syslog facility for the server log [daemon]? You can control the load on your machine by limiting the number of clients that the CVSup server will serve at once.

I can connect to my mirror from another server. When I try to update a ports collection (i.e. ports-editors) is will spit out the error: Collection ports-editors release cvs is not available here I did not specifiy any of the default collections during the install (i.e. src, www, gnats) because all I want to make available via cvsupd is the ports collections. However, since the install never asked me anything about ports, I'm hesitant that I have not properly made them available via cvsup. I've been throught the FreeBSD Handbook, and the cvsup.org website - absolutely no help at all. I've also searched through the /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror directory just to find absolutely no documentation whatsoever. All I want to do is run a mirror so I can keep the ports trees on my other BSD servers up-to-date. Can you please help me? -just a little frustrated ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lonnie, I didn't see any cvsup files so let me see what I can do by working backwards with you... I have cvsup-mirror running on one of my machines mirroring the entire cvsup collection. Normally I update the entire ports tree but I tried to update just ports-editors. It appeared to work. This is the cvsupfile I ran: *default host=192.168.0.20 *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix ports-editors I did not get the error message you mentioned until I changed the collection name to something bogus. e.g. I changed ports-editors to ports-editors-junk. This makes me think you are not mirroring, or not mirroring correctly, the ports tree. The supfile that goes with my cvsup-mirror looks like this: $ more /usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile # # Standard supfile for CVSup FreeBSD mirrors. # *default delete use-rel-suffix umask=002 cvs-all release=cvs prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs gnatsrelease=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-gnats.current www release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-www.current mail-archive release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-mail.current distrib release=selfprefix=prefixes/distrib.self $ I weould check to see what you have in the spot where I have cvs-all. There is a discussion in section A.5.5 of the FBSD Handbook that talks about the various file collections. It is at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html You should note the warning about the need to ALWAYS update ports-base. Even if you are not updating the whole ports tree.

It looks like cvsup doesn't like a line in your cvs-mirror's checkouts.cvs;. file. It is a text file. You can edit it and remove the line and try to update your mirror. There have been times when people have deleted their checkouts file. The next mirror update goes pretty slow but works. I was trying to update my mirror with a -s option on cvsup but it didn't save anytime, so I removed the option.
