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

1.131 tb 47: <h3 id="starting">Getting Started Using CVSync</h3>
1.1 espie 48:
1.138 sthen 49: <p>
50: CVS is part of OpenBSD's base system.
51: CVSync is an entirely different program and can be installed from
52: packages:
53:
1.142 solene 54: <pre class="cmdbox">
55: # <b>pkg_add cvsync</b>
1.138 sthen 56: </pre>
1.1 espie 57:
1.144 ! bentley 58: <p>
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.
1.144 ! bentley 85: The local copy of the files are stored in <code>/cvs</code>.
1.1 espie 86:
87: <p>
1.144 ! bentley 88: Assuming this file is saved as <code>cvs-syncfile</code>, the
1.1 espie 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>

1.138 sthen 95: <h3 id="rsync">Getting Started Using Rsync</h3>
96:
1.144 ! bentley 97: <p>
1.138 sthen 98: Some repository mirrors offer access via rsync, a general-purpose
99: file synchronization program.
100: Again this should be installed from packages.
101: Two flavours are available:
102:
1.142 solene 103: <pre class="cmdbox">
104: # <b>pkg_add rsync</b>
105: Ambiguous: choose package for rsync
1.144 ! bentley 106: a 0: <None>
1.142 solene 107: 1: rsync-3.1.2p0
108: 2: rsync-3.1.2p0-iconv
109: Your choice:
1.138 sthen 110: </pre>
111:
1.144 ! bentley 112: <p>
1.138 sthen 113: Unless you have other requirements, simply install the standard version
114: (option 1 on the list above).
115: You can select the flavour on the command-line to avoid
116: <a href="//man.openbsd.org/pkg_add">pkg_add(1)</a> prompting for the
117: version like so:
1.142 solene 118: <pre class="cmdbox">
119: # <b>pkg_add rsync--</b>
1.138 sthen 120: </pre>
121:
1.144 ! bentley 122: <p>
1.138 sthen 123: In order to mirror the OpenBSD repository with rsync,
124: the following command line might be used:
125:
1.142 solene 126: <pre class="cmdbox">
127: $ <b>rsync -avz --delete rsync://obsdacvs.cs.toronto.edu/obsdcvs/ /cvs/</b>

1.48 nick 133: Now that you have a local copy of the CVS repository, it is now simple
134: to check out, update, or do any of the other CVS operations you would
135: normally do against a remote repository, locally.
1.50 nick 136: For example:
1.142 solene 137: <pre class="cmdbox">
138: $ <b>cvs -d/cvs checkout -P src</b>
139: $ <b>cvs -d/cvs up -Pd</b>
