How do I create a freebsd local distribution point?

2004-06-28 Thread Lefteris Tsintjelis
Hi,

I want to create an internal central FreeBSD distribution point for kernel
sources and ports. In the long term, I would also like to precompile and
distribute packages and sources. Is there any good starting point that
explains all this?

Please CC

TIA

Greetings!!
You would want to look into cvsup, and use it to pull the entire source 
repository down to your distribution machine, and let cvsup on the other 
machines connect to it for updating their individual source trees. Check 
out the handbook for starters, and dig deeper from there.

I'm sure there are other ways of doing this, but this seems to me the 
easiest.

See the FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 22.5 Tracking for Multiple Machines:
