Setting up a cvsup server
Hi all, Can anyone give me any pointers to setting up a server for all my other boxen to cvsup from ? What I'd like to do is have one box cvsup from the main freebsd cvsup servers, but then for all my other boxen to be able to update both ports and source from this central server. The reason that I want to do this is that I've just upgraded openssh on all of my machines twice this week. This has meant updating the ports tree twice over 30 machines and this is a bit of a hit both on the freebsd servers and my own pipes. If anyone can advice on this, I would be truly greatful.

Simple: just install the net/cvsup-mirror port. It will run you through an interactive installation script to help you configure things. Since you're setting up a private mirror, you shouldn't use cvsup-master.freebsd.org. (In fact, you shouldn't use that server anyhow without permission from the powers that be.) The other cvsup servers are generally fine for this purpose. If you're going to run the mirroring frequently, do check with the admins of the server you want to use first.

What I do is use the standard cvs-supfile example to mirror the entire cvs repository locally in /home/ncvs The other servers on the network use cvs checkout to update their sources.
