RE: comparing cvsup vs. rsync

the server side's easy. File checkins could simply be a file upload, or a mime encoded fetch request, or an email message, or an ftp drop, or an scp copy, or an rsync push... I have a FreeBSD machine that could be used for prototyping... Nigel Weeks Tech Support and Systems Developer Rural Press

vkernel migration

host. It might just be easier to have a vkernel powered by multiple physical kernels (on different machines), giving the appearance of an SMP machine inside the vkernel. (Insert 40,000 lines of code here...) Nige. Nigel Weeks Tech Support Systems Developer Rural Press Tasmania The Examiner

RE: help over rsync vs cvsupd perfmance

2007-01-02 Thread Nigel Weeks
Um, I just meant cvsup vs. rsync without ssh. Rsync can talk to the rsync daemon that runs on the remote server, I'd think this is the best way that you can use rsync. I don't know enough about cvsup to say anything like that, though. For using ssh/rsh with rsync, you just need to do the

RE: 'CD server'

2007-01-01 Thread Nigel Weeks
I think there would be a bit of work involved to make it crash-free. Like adding code that allows the CD to be force-unmounted after having been taken out and making sure the filesystem doesn't panic when it suddenly loses it. Things like that. It's certainly possible to

RSync Distribution

2006-07-25 Thread Nigel Weeks
I've got to say I love the RSync servers hosting the DF .iso's Simply rename one of the old .iso's to the new name, and do an `rsync --progress rsync://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/DragonFly/iso-images/dfly-1.6.0_REL.iso.gz .` and watch the magic - not bad getting 2MB/s over a 56k modem... Nige Nigel

RE: the ultimate storage solution

2006-05-24 Thread Nigel Weeks
And how is apache and PHP on top of it with direct access to the file system more secure than samba? The suggestion is geared more towards usable by any OS, accessible from anywhere, rather than being more secure. It could be more secure, you can design whatever authentication

RE: the ultimate storage solution

2006-05-22 Thread Nigel Weeks
And then you go and put Samba on too, and undo any security encryption might have provided (if it were available). If you want a secure file repository, usable by any OS, accessible from anywhere, build a system where users log into a web-deployed file management environment, and file

Woops, I didn't reply to the list, sorry if this is out of step. No, KGI is not part of DragonFly. I've tried it once on FreeBSD. It's kinda huge and I didn't feel like (im)porting it. I'd rather like to have it _small_. Then again, if someone ported KGI it would definitely be interesting

PC-BSD's installer and package management
