I've used this cvs mirror utility before. You're mirroring a database, which has metainfo, versioning info, plus a whole lot more. You can't simply dump this database-type of files into /usr/src and get your system to use them. (There won't be a Makefile for example). You need to store them to another location outside /usr/src -- /home/ncvs is a good place since the uid and gid that the cvs will serve as is called 'ncvs' I'd keep progressing forward, leaving the defaults alone. Good luck. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: creating own CVSup server
Hi, me again, I also havent noticed, that there is a choice among -current or -stable. If I want to mirror just -stable (this is possible with cvsup stable-supfile), can I? thank you again On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 8:37 PM, Stefan Miklosovic < miklosovic.free...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I decided to set up my own CVSup server just for my local > network.

creating own CVSup server
Hi all, I decided to set up my own CVSup server just for my local network. After reading all related stuff I should find, I have solid knowledge about this issue but one thing disturbed my mind. My pc, server which I will mirroring from, is also downloading source tree from another server (cvsup.at.freebsd.org) to /usr/src directory. I will download my src tree once a week. When I am going to set up cvsup server on my own, cvsup-mirror asks me, where I want to download files I just purchased. Default directory is "/home/ncvs". My question is, can be downloading directory /usr/src ? Which reason should I place downloading files to /home/ncvs for? Does it matter ? Can I serve my own src tree for other computers?
