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>
1.51 deraadt 60: <li><b>xenocara</b> - Houses OpenBSD's active X.org v7 source tree.
1.1 espie 61: </ul>

1.124 tb 63: <h3 id="CVS"><font color="#0000e0">What Is CVS?</font></h3>
1.1 espie 64:
65: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source
66: tree. It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
67: Note that CVS and CVSync are entirely different programs. Although
68: CVS can be used for remote file access, it is not optimized for
69: wholesale source tree distribution over the net, and CVSync can be
70: easily an order of magnitude more efficient for this task.
71:
1.124 tb 72: <h3 id="starting"><font color="#0000e0">Getting Started Using CVSync</font></h3>
1.1 espie 73:
74: If you only care about running CVSync, it is recommended that you
75: download the cvsync package from the <a href="ftp.html">ftp mirror
76: sites</a> instead of building your own from the <tt>net/cvsync</tt>
1.10 naddy 77: port.
1.1 espie 78:
79: <p>
80: For further information about CVSync, see the
81: <a href="http://www.cvsync.org/">project homepage</a>.
1.116 sthen 82: However, don't build your own copy from unmodified upstream source -
83: the port/package has been modified to support commitid which is now
84: used in the OpenBSD repository.
1.1 espie 85:
86: <p>
87: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
88: the following configuration file might be used:
89:
90: <pre>
91: config {
1.103 mpi 92: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org
1.5 naddy 93: # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
1.1 espie 94: compress
1.4 espie 95: collection {
1.5 naddy 96: name openbsd release rcs
1.4 espie 97: prefix /cvs
1.5 naddy 98: umask 002
1.4 espie 99: }
1.1 espie 100: }
101: </pre>
102:
103: <p>
104: This directs cvsync to refresh all OpenBSD distributions from
1.124 tb 105: <b>anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org</b> with a
106: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/umask">umask(2)</a> that permits group write
1.1 espie 107: permission to the local repository.
108:
109: <p>
110: Assuming this file is saved as <tt>cvs-syncfile</tt>, the
111: following command would be used to invoke cvsync
1.124 tb 112:

1.1 espie 119:
1.48 nick 120: Now that you have a local copy of the CVS repository, it is now simple
121: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
122: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
1.50 nick 123: For example:
1.1 espie 124: <pre>
1.91 nick 125: <b>cvs -d/cvs checkout -P src</b>
126: <b>cvs -d/cvs up -Pd</b>
127: <b>cvs -d/cvs diff -u file.c</b>
