1.1 espie 26:
27: <b>CVSync</b> is a software package for distributing and updating source
1.124 ! tb 28: trees from a master <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a>
! 29: repository on a remote server host.
! 30: The OpenBSD sources are maintained in a CVS repository on a central
! 31: development machine in Canada.
! 32: With CVSync, OpenBSD users can easily keep their own source trees up to date.
1.1 espie 33:
34: <p>
35: <b>CVSync</b> uses the so-called pull model of updating. Under the pull
36: model, each client asks the server for updates, if and when they are
37: wanted. The server waits passively for update requests from its clients.
38: Thus all updates are instigated by the client. The server never sends
39: unsolicited updates. Users must either run the <b>CVSync</b> client
1.124 ! tb 40: manually to get an update, or they must set up a
! 41: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a> job to run it
1.10 naddy 42: automatically on a regular basis.
1.1 espie 43:
44: <p>
45: The term <b>CVSync</b>, capitalized just so, refers to the entire software
46: package. Its main components are the client <tt>cvsync</tt> which runs on
47: each user's machine, and the server <tt>cvsyncd</tt> which runs at each of
1.10 naddy 48: the OpenBSD CVSync mirror sites.
1.1 espie 49:
50: <p>
1.23 nick 51: <b>CVSync</b> is intended to be both faster and more flexible than
1.97 tedu 52: sup and CVSup.
1.1 espie 53:
54: <p>
1.42 nick 55: The OpenBSD Project currently has six main source repositories:
1.1 espie 56:
57: <ul>
58: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.</li>
1.78 steven 59: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.</li>
1.10 naddy 60: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages (including this one).</li>
1.26 matthieu 61: <li><b>X11</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the
62: <a href="http://www.XFree86.org/">XFree86-3</a> software project.
1.51 deraadt 63: <li><b>XF4</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the XFree86-4 source tree.
64: <li><b>xenocara</b> - Houses OpenBSD's active X.org v7 source tree.
1.1 espie 65: </ul>
66:
1.84 jasper 67: The <b>X11</b> and <b>XF4</b> repositories are here just for historical
1.97 tedu 68: purposes, most users will have no reason to use those trees, they are no longer
1.84 jasper 69: being used.

1.124 ! tb 71: <h3 id="CVS"><font color="#0000e0">What Is CVS?</font></h3>
1.1 espie 72:
73: <p>
74: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source
75: tree. It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
76: Note that CVS and CVSync are entirely different programs. Although
77: CVS can be used for remote file access, it is not optimized for
78: wholesale source tree distribution over the net, and CVSync can be
79: easily an order of magnitude more efficient for this task.
80:
1.124 ! tb 81: <h3 id="starting"><font color="#0000e0">Getting Started Using CVSync</font></h3>
1.1 espie 82:
83: If you only care about running CVSync, it is recommended that you
84: download the cvsync package from the <a href="ftp.html">ftp mirror
85: sites</a> instead of building your own from the <tt>net/cvsync</tt>
1.10 naddy 86: port.
1.1 espie 87:
88: <p>
89: For further information about CVSync, see the
90: <a href="http://www.cvsync.org/">project homepage</a>.
1.116 sthen 91: However, don't build your own copy from unmodified upstream source -
92: the port/package has been modified to support commitid which is now
93: used in the OpenBSD repository.
1.1 espie 94:
95: <p>
96: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
97: the following configuration file might be used:
98:
99: <pre>
100: config {
1.103 mpi 101: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org
1.5 naddy 102: # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
1.1 espie 103: compress
1.4 espie 104: collection {
1.5 naddy 105: name openbsd release rcs
1.4 espie 106: prefix /cvs
1.5 naddy 107: umask 002
1.4 espie 108: }
1.1 espie 109: }
110: </pre>
111:
112: <p>
113: This directs cvsync to refresh all OpenBSD distributions from
1.124 ! tb 114: <b>anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org</b> with a
! 115: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/umask">umask(2)</a> that permits group write
1.1 espie 116: permission to the local repository.
117:
118: <p>
119: Assuming this file is saved as <tt>cvs-syncfile</tt>, the
120: following command would be used to invoke cvsync

130: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
131: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
