Okay, so you have the CVS tree on that tree.

Your written English is more than good enough for me to understand, so
your skills are obviously much better than the way you describe
yourself.  Now that you have spent much time understanding some of the
documents, you might be able to help others by working on the
translations for whichever language you would prefer to read in.

Either way (cvs or cvsup) should work fine.  

The easiest way to use CVS directly would be to NFS-mount the CVS
repository on the client, and then checking out directly.  For example,
if the repository were mounted on /ncvs, the checkout command might be
something like 
  (cd /usr/src ; cvs -d /ncvs co -r  src-all )
[I haven't tested this; I may have made an error, and I'm not sure what
TAG you would want.]

For using cvsup, you can install the cvsup-mirror port on the machine
you want to use as the cvsup server.  It will ask you a number of
questions so that it can configure cvsupd properly, and you won't need
to worry about it.

Use whichever one you want; I don't see any reason to prefer one or the
other.  

Good luck.

i did cvsup with supfile given in example,
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile,
and set base to /var/db and prefix to /home/ncvs as suggested and then

cvsup -g -L 2 -h HOST /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile

where HOST is the one that run fastest in local area around my country.

my real problem is that i can not do cvsup from any machine in my office.
but there is no problem at home.  so i simply bring my notebook home and do
cvsup as above.  later on at the office, i want my other machine get
/usr/src from my notebook but i can not and that's my problem.

and frankly speaking my english is quite poor, i spend the whole week end to
understand documents cited.
unfortunately, that bring me more problem and that's why i revert back to my
instinct with cvs.

anyway, i really appreciate all answers to me and still hope that you will
give me further helps.

with best regards,
psr

What did you think that command was going to do?  Do you have a full cvs
ports tree under /home/ncvs?  How did you get that?

My understanding was that you wanted to put the ports tree on one
machine (call it the "master"), then use it to install ports on other
machines that are local to the master.  The way to do that would be to
use cvsup as normal on the master, and build all the ports there.  Then
you can use NFS to mount /usr/ports on the other machines, and install
the ports on them as well.  To speed things up, you can set WRKDIRPREFIX
to point at local disk space on the client machines.  You can even have
the master machine build packages, avoiding the need to build the ports
from source on the clients.

Does that make sense to you?  Do you need it described in more detail?

Good luck.

thanks indeed and apologized me for postponing answer to all of postings.
what about cvs then.  i did  this

cvs -d /home/ncvs checkout ports

and i got some thing quite similar to ports tree indeed.

thanks in advance for any informations

rgds,
psr

To run cvsupd, you need the whole cvs tree for the collections you're
handling, not just the checked-out files.

Assuming these machines are attached by a protected network, a better
approach (easier, anyway) would probably be to cvsup the changes to
just one machine, then NFS-mount that machine's ports tree from the
other machine.

cvsup: local

[fire jotawski]

hi sirs,

i have my small box, 10.3.1.25 ip,  that cvsup-ed files from repository into
it.  it use cvs-supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ to collect files.
now that i want my other machine to cvsup 6.2-release source files from the
one mentioned above.

my  trial was

cvsupd -b /var/db -c sup

for box, 10.3.1.25 ip,  and for other machine

cvsup -g -L 2 -h 10.3.1.25 sup-file

what i got was  'Server message: Unknown collection "src-all" ' message.
and later on

Running
Skipping collection src-all/cvs
Skipping collection doc-all/cvs
Shutting down connection to server
Finished successfully

very strange indeed.

any helps and hints in setting cvsup server would highly be appreciated.

with best regards,
psr
