1.131 tb 27: <h3 id="CVSync">What Is CVSync?</h3>
1.1 espie 28:
29: <b>CVSync</b> is a software package for distributing and updating source
1.124 tb 30: trees from a master <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a>
31: repository on a remote server host.
32: The OpenBSD sources are maintained in a CVS repository on a central
33: development machine in Canada.
34: With CVSync, OpenBSD users can easily keep their own source trees up to date.
1.1 espie 35:
36: <p>
37: <b>CVSync</b> uses the so-called pull model of updating. Under the pull
38: model, each client asks the server for updates, if and when they are
39: wanted. The server waits passively for update requests from its clients.
40: Thus all updates are instigated by the client. The server never sends
41: unsolicited updates. Users must either run the <b>CVSync</b> client
1.124 tb 42: manually to get an update, or they must set up a
43: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a> job to run it
1.10 naddy 44: automatically on a regular basis.
1.1 espie 45:
46: <p>
47: The term <b>CVSync</b>, capitalized just so, refers to the entire software
48: package. Its main components are the client <tt>cvsync</tt> which runs on
49: each user's machine, and the server <tt>cvsyncd</tt> which runs at each of
1.10 naddy 50: the OpenBSD CVSync mirror sites.
1.1 espie 51:
52: <p>
1.23 nick 53: <b>CVSync</b> is intended to be both faster and more flexible than
1.97 tedu 54: sup and CVSup.
1.1 espie 55:
56: <p>
1.42 nick 57: The OpenBSD Project currently has six main source repositories:
1.1 espie 58:
59: <ul>
60: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.</li>
1.78 steven 61: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.</li>
1.10 naddy 62: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages (including this one).</li>
1.51 deraadt 63: <li><b>xenocara</b> - Houses OpenBSD's active X.org v7 source tree.
1.1 espie 64: </ul>
65:
1.131 tb 66: <h3 id="CVS">What Is CVS?</h3>
1.1 espie 67:
68: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source
69: tree. It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
70: Note that CVS and CVSync are entirely different programs. Although
71: CVS can be used for remote file access, it is not optimized for
72: wholesale source tree distribution over the net, and CVSync can be
73: easily an order of magnitude more efficient for this task.
74:
1.131 tb 75: <h3 id="starting">Getting Started Using CVSync</h3>
1.1 espie 76:
77: If you only care about running CVSync, it is recommended that you
78: download the cvsync package from the <a href="ftp.html">ftp mirror
79: sites</a> instead of building your own from the <tt>net/cvsync</tt>
1.10 naddy 80: port.
1.1 espie 81:
82: <p>
83: For further information about CVSync, see the
84: <a href="http://www.cvsync.org/">project homepage</a>.
1.116 sthen 85: However, don't build your own copy from unmodified upstream source -
86: the port/package has been modified to support commitid which is now
87: used in the OpenBSD repository.
1.1 espie 88:
89: <p>
90: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
91: the following configuration file might be used:
92:
93: <pre>
94: config {
1.103 mpi 95: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org
1.5 naddy 96: # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
1.1 espie 97: compress
1.4 espie 98: collection {
1.5 naddy 99: name openbsd release rcs
1.4 espie 100: prefix /cvs
1.5 naddy 101: umask 002
1.4 espie 102: }
1.1 espie 103: }
104: </pre>
105:
106: <p>
107: This directs cvsync to refresh all OpenBSD distributions from
1.124 tb 108: <b>anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org</b> with a
109: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/umask">umask(2)</a> that permits group write
1.1 espie 110: permission to the local repository.
111:
112: <p>
113: Assuming this file is saved as <tt>cvs-syncfile</tt>, the
114: following command would be used to invoke cvsync
1.124 tb 115:
1.1 espie 116: <pre>
1.91 nick 117: <b>cvsync -c cvs-syncfile</b>
1.1 espie 118: </pre>
119:
1.131 tb 120: <h3 id="using">Using CVS to Work With Your Repository</h3>
1.1 espie 121:
1.48 nick 122: Now that you have a local copy of the CVS repository, it is now simple
123: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
124: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
1.50 nick 125: For example:
1.1 espie 126: <pre>
1.91 nick 127: <b>cvs -d/cvs checkout -P src</b>
128: <b>cvs -d/cvs up -Pd</b>
129: <b>cvs -d/cvs diff -u file.c</b>
1.1 espie 130: </pre>
