1.1 espie 21:
1.138 sthen 22: OpenBSD uses the CVS version control system.
23: It is described in more detail <a href="anoncvs.html#CVS">here</a>.
24: The <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a> command is used
25: to checkout a working tree and perform standard operations (log, diff, etc).
26: It can either contact an CVS server (in most cases this will be an OpenBSD
27: <a href="anoncvs.html">anoncvs</a> server), or operate against a local
28: copy of the repository.
1.1 espie 29:
30: <p>
1.138 sthen 31: If you would like to operate a local anoncvs server, use cvs(1) commands
32: offline, or simply have faster access, you may use CVSync or rsync to
33: fetch a local copy of the repository.
1.1 espie 34:
1.138 sthen 35: <h3 id="CVSync">What Is CVSync?</h3>
1.1 espie 36:
1.138 sthen 37: <b>CVSync</b> is a software package specifically used for distributing
38: and updating <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a> repositories.
39: As it has knowledge of the file format it can operate more efficiently
40: than a general-purpose file synchronization program, however it is not
41: bug-free and can have problems updating at times.
1.1 espie 42:
1.138 sthen 43: <p>
44: The client <tt>cvsync</tt> runs on each user's machine (typically from
45: a <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cron">cron(8)</a> job), and fetches
46: from a server running <tt>cvsyncd</tt>.

1.131 tb 48: <h3 id="starting">Getting Started Using CVSync</h3>
1.1 espie 49:
1.138 sthen 50: <p>
51: CVS is part of OpenBSD's base system.
52: CVSync is an entirely different program and can be installed from
53: packages:
54:
1.142 solene 55: <pre class="cmdbox">
56: # <b>pkg_add cvsync</b>
1.138 sthen 57: </pre>
1.1 espie 58:
1.138 sthen 59: Do not build your own copy from unmodified upstream source -
1.116 sthen 60: the port/package has been modified to support commitid which is now
61: used in the OpenBSD repository.
1.1 espie 62:
63: <p>
64: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with CVSync,
65: the following configuration file might be used:
66:
1.142 solene 67: <pre class="cmdbox">
68: config {
69: hostname anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org
70: # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
71: compress
72: collection {
73: name openbsd release rcs
74: prefix /cvs
75: umask 002
76: }
77: }
1.1 espie 78: </pre>
79:
80: <p>
1.138 sthen 81: This directs cvsync to fetch or refresh all OpenBSD distributions from
1.124 tb 82: <b>anoncvs.eu.openbsd.org</b> with a
1.137 tb 83: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/umask">umask(2)</a> that permits group write
1.1 espie 84: permission to the local repository.
1.138 sthen 85: The local copy of the files are stored in <tt>/cvs</tt>.
1.1 espie 86:
87: <p>
88: Assuming this file is saved as <tt>cvs-syncfile</tt>, the
89: following command would be used to invoke cvsync
1.124 tb 90:
1.142 solene 91: <pre class="cmdbox">
92: $ <b>cvsync -c cvs-syncfile</b>
1.1 espie 93: </pre>
94:
1.138 sthen 95: <h3 id="rsync">Getting Started Using Rsync</h3>
96:
97: Some repository mirrors offer access via rsync, a general-purpose
98: file synchronization program.
99: Again this should be installed from packages.
100: Two flavours are available:
101:
1.142 solene 102: <pre class="cmdbox">
103: # <b>pkg_add rsync</b>
104: Ambiguous: choose package for rsync
105: a 0: <None>
106: 1: rsync-3.1.2p0
107: 2: rsync-3.1.2p0-iconv
108: Your choice:
1.138 sthen 109: </pre>
110:
111: Unless you have other requirements, simply install the standard version
112: (option 1 on the list above).
113: You can select the flavour on the command-line to avoid
114: <a href="//man.openbsd.org/pkg_add">pkg_add(1)</a> prompting for the
115: version like so:
1.142 solene 116: <pre class="cmdbox">
117: # <b>pkg_add rsync--</b>
1.138 sthen 118: </pre>
119:
120: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with rsync,
121: the following command line might be used:
122:
1.142 solene 123: <pre class="cmdbox">
124: $ <b>rsync -avz --delete rsync://obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu/obsdcvs/ /cvs/</b>

1.131 tb 127: <h3 id="using">Using CVS to Work With Your Repository</h3>
1.1 espie 128:
1.48 nick 129: Now that you have a local copy of the CVS repository, it is now simple
130: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
131: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
1.50 nick 132: For example:
1.142 solene 133: <pre class="cmdbox">
134: $ <b>cvs -d/cvs checkout -P src</b>
135: $ <b>cvs -d/cvs up -Pd</b>
