! The major advantage of Anonymous CVS over other source code update ! techniques is that it works directly against a central source code ! repository or mirror. This means that you have the full set of CVS ! commands available to control merging and updating your changes with ! other source changes, performing diffs, change histories and other ! queries against the central repository.
The OpenBSD Project currently has four active source repositories: --- 33,44 ---- of a release.
! Anonymous CVS works directly against a central source code repository. ! This means that you have the full set of CVS commands available to control ! merging and updating your changes with other source changes, performing diffs, ! change histories and other queries against the central repository. ! In the event that the changes can't be completely merged, CVS provides annotated ! changes to your local copy and preserves an unmodified copy of your version.

- In the event that the changes can't be completely merged, CVS provides a - "soft fallback", providing you with annotated changes to your - local copy, preserving an unmodified copy of your version and continuing - to update any other source modules you requested. - -
! To extract the source tree from the CD to /usr/src (assuming the CD is ! mounted on /mnt):
- - The source files for download from the FTP servers are separated into two - files to minimize the time required to download for those wishing to work - with only one part of the tree. The two files are sys.tar.gz, - which contains the files used to create the kernel, and src.tar.gz - which contains all the other "userland" utilities. - In general, however, you will usually want both of them installed. - Assuming the downloaded files, src.tar.gz, - sys.tar.gz and xenocara.tar.gz are in /tmp: - -# cd /usr/src - # tar xzf /mnt/src.tar.gz - # cd /usr - # tar xzf /mnt/xenocara.tar.gz - # tar xzf /mnt/ports.tar.gz -
!- # cd /usr/src # tar xzf /tmp/src.tar.gz # tar xzf /tmp/sys.tar.gz # cd /usr --- 65,87 ----Read-only access for everyone ! Getting started using Anonymous CVS
! While you can download the entire source tree from an anoncvs server, you can ! save time and bandwidth by preloading your tree with the source tarballs. This is particularly true if you are running -stable, as relatively few files change between the -release and -stable.! The source files for download from the mirrors are ! separated into two files to reduce the time required to download for those ! wishing to work with only one part of the tree. ! The kernel sources are in sys.tar.gz and the userland sources ! are in src.tar.gz.
! Not all people will wish to unpack all the file sets, but as the system ! must be kept in sync, you will generally need to set up all trees. -# cd /usr/src # tar xzf /tmp/src.tar.gz # tar xzf /tmp/sys.tar.gz # cd /usr *************** *** 116,151 **** # tar xzf /tmp/ports.tar.gz- You can also just use cvs(1) to "checkout" the source repository - for you. This is discussed in the next section. - -
- After this, /usr/src will be a nice checkout area where all - cvs(1) commands will work properly. - -
Using CVS to get and update your - source tree
- CVS was designed to be a simple way to retrieve and update your sources. You must first decide whether you want to track -current or a patch branch. The current tree has all of the up to the minute changes, ! whereas a patch branch contains a formal release plus the patches from the errata and lesser issues already applied. ! For more information on these "flavors" of OpenBSD, see here.! Once you have decided which tree to follow, you must choose which Anonymous ! CVS server you are going to use. A list of these servers is ! below. ! !
! Once you have chosen which server you will use, you can start using cvs. If you begin with src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz as mentioned above, you can skip the initial get and proceed to updating. --- 89,108 ---- # tar xzf /tmp/ports.tar.gz
