Mirroring the Repository

+ +

+ As noted in the list below, some repository mirrors also allow fetching + the entire repository via rsync. + Please use the reposync wrapper script which checks for updates to + CVSROOT/ChangeLog and avoids a full directory scan in some cases where no update + was detected. + It also handles SSH port-forwarding for mirrors where this is available, + allowing to connect to an "rsync --daemon" server over an + authenticated and encrypted channel. + +

+ Install reposync from packages, create a user and directory to + hold the repository, and a directory for reposync's own use: + + 

+ # pkg_add reposync
+ # useradd cvs
+ # install -d -o cvs /home/cvs /var/db/reposync
+
+ +

+ Now the following command might be used to mirror or update the repository; + remove "-l anoncvs" if using a mirror which does not support SSH port-forwarding. + + 

+ # su -m cvs -c "reposync -l anoncvs rsync://mirror.example.org/cvs /home/cvs"
+
+ +

+ After mirroring, you can use the local directory as your cvsroot, for example: + + 

+ $ cd /usr/src
+ $ cvs -d /home/cvs -q up -Pd
+
+ + As of November 2019, repository sizes are as follows: + + 
+ $ du -shc *
+ 175M    CVSROOT
+ 1.1G    ports
+ 2.9G    src
+ 787M    www
+ 1.7G    xenocara
+ 6.6G    total
+
+ +

+ The overall repository size currently increases at a rate + of about 400MB per annum. The src repository increases by about + 150MB. +
