<h3><font color=#0000e0>Mirroring the CVS repository via sup(1).</font></h3>

<p>

Users wishing to mirror the OpenBSD CVS tree itself may now do so

from <em>anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org</em>. Note that this is the cvs

tree, <b>not</b> a checked out source tree. It is only useful if

you want to be able to do fast cvs operations (diff, annotate, etc)

or if you have multiple source trees and you only want to transfer

new data once (you can then checkout a tree from your local cvs

mirror).

<p>

A sample supfile would be:

<pre>

cvs host=anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org hostbase=/ base=/home delete

</pre>

<p>

which would mirror the cvs tree into /home/cvs with the sup data

files ending up in /home/sup. The full OpenBSD cvs tree is just

under a gigabyte in size.

Anoncvs mirrors require about 1GB of disk, and use up to 4MB of swap

per anoncvs user (assuming the user does a large operation; while smaller

operations use fewer resources, anoncvs still makes much more of an

impact than ftp or sup). Such anoncvs machines should have excellent
