Also, before you decide anything, I should let you know that I decided to go ahead and write a general purpose rsync based mirroring tool, both for keeping our own dcvs copy updated and for doing convenient rsync vs cvsup benchmark testing. I have been working on it for two nights now. It is written in Perl and, so far is working pretty nice. I call it *mirror*. I have a configuration file for it that is pre-configured for all the DragonFly rsync repository mirroring sites that I know of so far. It is even more convenient than cvsup. I plan to make it available, hopefully in the next day or two. I was going to set it up as a standard installable source package (i.e. make install) and write a manual first. I was considering hosting it as a project on my own site or one of the project hosting sites or see if you guys are interested in putting it up on the DragonFly site. I would be interested in feedback. It has some pretty nice features so far. Just to give you a little preview, I have included just the configuration file below for DragonFly dcvs mirroring. ======================================================================= # mirror-dragonfly-cvs.conf # # Settings are specified as # variable = value # or # variable += value # to append to a variable. # # This mirror file will maintain a copy of the DragonFly BSD CVS tree. # # $Id$ # ############################################################################ # $sites # Source URLs or paths for retrieving file updates. # Example: rsync.TheShell.com::DragonFly/dcvs # or: rsync://rsync.TheShell.com/DragonFly/dcvs # sites = rsync.TheShell.com::DragonFly/dcvs sites += rsync.AllBSD.org::dragonfly-cvs sites += chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de::dragonfly-cvs sites += crater.dragonflybsd.org::dragonfly_cvs # $destination # Specifies where to place the requested files. # destination = /home/dcvs # $rsync_opts # Options to pass to rsync # rsync_opts += --archive --hard-links --delete rsync_opts += --compress rsync_opts += --verbose #rsync_opts += --progress # $files # Files or directories to mirror # files = CVSROOT # Basic CVS data.
