1.124 tb 24: <h3 id="CVSync"><font color="#0000e0">What Is CVSync?</font></h3>
1.1 espie 25:
26: <b>CVSync</b> is a software package for distributing and updating source
1.124 tb 27: trees from a master <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a>
28: repository on a remote server host.
29: The OpenBSD sources are maintained in a CVS repository on a central
30: development machine in Canada.
31: With CVSync, OpenBSD users can easily keep their own source trees up to date.
1.1 espie 32:
33: <p>
34: <b>CVSync</b> uses the so-called pull model of updating. Under the pull
35: model, each client asks the server for updates, if and when they are
36: wanted. The server waits passively for update requests from its clients.
37: Thus all updates are instigated by the client. The server never sends
38: unsolicited updates. Users must either run the <b>CVSync</b> client
1.124 tb 39: manually to get an update, or they must set up a
40: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a> job to run it
1.10 naddy 41: automatically on a regular basis.
1.1 espie 42:
43: <p>
44: The term <b>CVSync</b>, capitalized just so, refers to the entire software
45: package. Its main components are the client <tt>cvsync</tt> which runs on
46: each user's machine, and the server <tt>cvsyncd</tt> which runs at each of
1.10 naddy 47: the OpenBSD CVSync mirror sites.
1.1 espie 48:
49: <p>
1.23 nick 50: <b>CVSync</b> is intended to be both faster and more flexible than
1.97 tedu 51: sup and CVSup.
1.1 espie 52:
53: <p>
1.42 nick 54: The OpenBSD Project currently has six main source repositories:
1.1 espie 55:
56: <ul>
57: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.</li>
1.78 steven 58: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.</li>
1.10 naddy 59: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages (including this one).</li>
1.26 matthieu 60: <li><b>X11</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the
61: <a href="http://www.XFree86.org/">XFree86-3</a> software project.
1.51 deraadt 62: <li><b>XF4</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the XFree86-4 source tree.
63: <li><b>xenocara</b> - Houses OpenBSD's active X.org v7 source tree.
1.1 espie 64: </ul>
65:
1.84 jasper 66: The <b>X11</b> and <b>XF4</b> repositories are here just for historical
1.97 tedu 67: purposes, most users will have no reason to use those trees, they are no longer
1.84 jasper 68: being used.

1.124 tb 70: <h3 id="CVS"><font color="#0000e0">What Is CVS?</font></h3>
1.1 espie 71:
72: <p>
73: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source
74: tree. It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
75: Note that CVS and CVSync are entirely different programs. Although
76: CVS can be used for remote file access, it is not optimized for
77: wholesale source tree distribution over the net, and CVSync can be
78: easily an order of magnitude more efficient for this task.
79:
1.124 tb 80: <h3 id="starting"><font color="#0000e0">Getting Started Using CVSync</font></h3>
1.1 espie 81:
82: If you only care about running CVSync, it is recommended that you
83: download the cvsync package from the <a href="ftp.html">ftp mirror
84: sites</a> instead of building your own from the <tt>net/cvsync</tt>
1.10 naddy 85: port.
1.1 espie 86:
87: <p>
88: For further information about CVSync, see the
89: <a href="http://www.cvsync.org/">project homepage</a>.
1.116 sthen 90: However, don't build your own copy from unmodified upstream source -
91: the port/package has been modified to support commitid which is now
92: used in the OpenBSD repository.
1.1 espie 93:
94: <p>
95: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
96: the following configuration file might be used:
97:
98: <pre>
99: config {
1.103 mpi 100: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org
1.5 naddy 101: # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
1.1 espie 102: compress
1.4 espie 103: collection {
1.5 naddy 104: name openbsd release rcs
1.4 espie 105: prefix /cvs
1.5 naddy 106: umask 002
1.4 espie 107: }
1.1 espie 108: }
109: </pre>
110:
111: <p>
112: This directs cvsync to refresh all OpenBSD distributions from
1.124 tb 113: <b>anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org</b> with a
114: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/umask">umask(2)</a> that permits group write
1.1 espie 115: permission to the local repository.
116:
117: <p>
118: Assuming this file is saved as <tt>cvs-syncfile</tt>, the
119: following command would be used to invoke cvsync
1.124 tb 120:

1.1 espie 127:
1.48 nick 128: Now that you have a local copy of the CVS repository, it is now simple
129: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
130: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
1.50 nick 131: For example:
1.1 espie 132: <pre>
1.91 nick 133: <b>cvs -d/cvs checkout -P src</b>
134: <b>cvs -d/cvs up -Pd</b>
