25: <b>CVSync</b> is a software package for distributing and updating source
26: trees from a master <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1">cvs(1)</a> repository on a remote server host. The OpenBSD
27: sources are maintained in a CVS repository on a central development machine
28: in Canada. With CVSync, OpenBSD users can easily keep their own source trees
1.10 naddy 29: up to date.
1.1 espie 30: </p>
31:
32: <p>
33: <b>CVSync</b> uses the so-called pull model of updating. Under the pull
34: model, each client asks the server for updates, if and when they are
35: wanted. The server waits passively for update requests from its clients.
36: Thus all updates are instigated by the client. The server never sends
37: unsolicited updates. Users must either run the <b>CVSync</b> client
38: manually to get an update, or they must set up a <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cron&sektion=8">cron(8)</a> job to run it
1.10 naddy 39: automatically on a regular basis.
1.1 espie 40: </p>
41:
42: <p>
43: The term <b>CVSync</b>, capitalized just so, refers to the entire software
44: package. Its main components are the client <tt>cvsync</tt> which runs on
45: each user's machine, and the server <tt>cvsyncd</tt> which runs at each of
1.10 naddy 46: the OpenBSD CVSync mirror sites.

1.42 nick 55: The OpenBSD Project currently has six main source repositories:
1.1 espie 56: </p>
57:
58: <ul>
59: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.</li>
1.78 steven 60: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.</li>
1.10 naddy 61: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages (including this one).</li>
1.26 matthieu 62: <li><b>X11</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the
63: <a href="http://www.XFree86.org/">XFree86-3</a> software project.
1.51 deraadt 64: <li><b>XF4</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the XFree86-4 source tree.
65: <li><b>xenocara</b> - Houses OpenBSD's active X.org v7 source tree.
1.1 espie 66: </ul>
67:
1.84 jasper 68: The <b>X11</b> and <b>XF4</b> repositories are here just for historical
1.97 tedu 69: purposes, most users will have no reason to use those trees, they are no longer
1.84 jasper 70: being used.

1.1 espie 72: <h3><a name="CVS"><font color="#0000e0">What Is CVS?</font></a></h3>
73:
74: <p>
75: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source
76: tree. It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
77: Note that CVS and CVSync are entirely different programs. Although
78: CVS can be used for remote file access, it is not optimized for
79: wholesale source tree distribution over the net, and CVSync can be
80: easily an order of magnitude more efficient for this task.
81: </p>

83: <h3>
84: <a name="starting"><font color="#0000e0">Getting Started Using CVSync</font></a>
85: </h3>
86:
87: <p>
88: If you only care about running CVSync, it is recommended that you
89: download the cvsync package from the <a href="ftp.html">ftp mirror
90: sites</a> instead of building your own from the <tt>net/cvsync</tt>
1.10 naddy 91: port.
1.1 espie 92: </p>
93:
94: <p>
95: For further information about CVSync, see the
96: <a href="http://www.cvsync.org/">project homepage</a>.
97: </p>
98:
99: <p>
100: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
101: the following configuration file might be used:
102: </p>
103:
104: <pre>
105: config {
1.103 mpi 106: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org
1.5 naddy 107: # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
1.1 espie 108: compress
1.4 espie 109: collection {
1.5 naddy 110: name openbsd release rcs
1.4 espie 111: prefix /cvs
1.5 naddy 112: umask 002
1.4 espie 113: }
1.1 espie 114: }
115: </pre>
116:
117: <p>
118: This directs cvsync to refresh all OpenBSD distributions from
1.103 mpi 119: <b>anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org</b> with a <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=umask&sektion=2">umask(2)</a> that permits group write
1.1 espie 120: permission to the local repository.
121: </p>

124: Assuming this file is saved as <tt>cvs-syncfile</tt>, the
