1.138 sthen 27: OpenBSD uses the CVS version control system.
28: It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
29: The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a> command is used
30: to checkout a working tree and perform standard operations (log, diff, etc).
31: It can either contact an CVS server (in most cases this will be an OpenBSD
32: <a href="anoncvs.html">anoncvs</a> server), or operate against a local
33: copy of the repository.
1.1 espie 34:
35: <p>
1.138 sthen 36: If you would like to operate a local anoncvs server, use cvs(1) commands
37: offline, or simply have faster access, you may use CVSync or rsync to
38: fetch a local copy of the repository.

1.138 sthen 40: <h3 id="CVSync">What Is CVSync?</h3>
1.1 espie 41:
1.138 sthen 42: <b>CVSync</b> is a software package specifically used for distributing
43: and updating <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a> repositories.
44: As it has knowledge of the file format it can operate more efficiently
45: than a general-purpose file synchronization program, however it is not
46: bug-free and can have problems updating at times.
1.1 espie 47:
1.138 sthen 48: <p>
49: The client <tt>cvsync</tt> runs on each user's machine (typically from
50: a <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a> job), and fetches
51: from a server running <tt>cvsyncd</tt>.

1.1 espie 54:
1.138 sthen 55: <p>
56: CVS is part of OpenBSD's base system.
57: CVSync is an entirely different program and can be installed from
58: packages:
59:
60: <pre>
61: <b>pkg_add cvsync</b>
62: </pre>
1.1 espie 63:
1.138 sthen 64: Do not build your own copy from unmodified upstream source -
1.116 sthen 65: the port/package has been modified to support commitid which is now
66: used in the OpenBSD repository.
1.1 espie 67:
68: <p>
69: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
70: the following configuration file might be used:
71:
72: <pre>
73: config {
1.103 mpi 74: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org

1.138 sthen 100: <h3 id="rsync">Getting Started Using Rsync</h3>
101:
102: Some repository mirrors offer access via rsync, a general-purpose
103: file synchronization program.
104: Again this should be installed from packages.
105: Two flavours are available:
106:
107: <pre>
108: <b># pkg_add rsync</b>
109: Ambiguous: choose package for rsync
110: a 0: <None>
111: 1: rsync-3.1.2p0
112: 2: rsync-3.1.2p0-iconv
113: Your choice:
114: </pre>
115:
116: Unless you have other requirements, simply install the standard version
117: (option 1 on the list above).
118: You can select the flavour on the command-line to avoid
119: <a href="//man.openbsd.org/pkg_add">pkg_add(1)</a> prompting for the
120: version like so:
121: <pre>
122: <b>pkg_add rsync--</b>
123: </pre>
124:
125: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with rsync,
126: the following command line might be used:
127:
128: <pre>
129: <b>rsync -avz --delete rsync://obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu/obsdcvs/ /cvs/</b>

1.1 espie 133:
1.48 nick 134: Now that you have a local copy of the CVS repository, it is now simple
135: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
136: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
1.50 nick 137: For example:
