39: Anonymous CVS is a method of keeping your local copy of the OpenBSD source
40: tree up to date with respect to changes made to current OpenBSD sources.
1.99 ericj 41: </p>
42:
1.14 downsj 43: <p>
1.15 grr 44: The major advantage of Anonymous CVS over other source code update
45: techniques is that it works directly against a central source code
46: repository or mirror. This means that you have the full set of CVS
47: commands available to control merging and updating your changes with
48: other source changes and for performing diff's, change histories
49: and other queries against the central repository.
1.99 ericj 50: </p>
51:
1.36 deraadt 52: <p>
1.99 ericj 53: The OpenBSD Project currently has three main source repositories:
54: </p>
55:
56: <ul>
57: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.
58: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="./ports.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.
59: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages. (Including this one).
60: </ul>
61:
1.100 ericj 62: <p>
63: To summarize, the real strength of using Anonymous CVS is that it is
64: a "tolerant" source code control system - it <strong>respects</strong>
65: changes that you have made to your local sources and makes <strong>
66: "best efforts"</strong> to update your entire source tree, rather than
67: leaving you a list of arcane problems that have to be resolved before
68: continuing.

1.99 ericj 73:

75: <a href=why-cvs.html>
76: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source tree.</a>
1.16 deraadt 77: It implements a central repository for all officially released source code
1.15 grr 78: and changes, while permitting developers to maintain local copies of the
1.99 ericj 79: source code with their working changes. Developers with "<b>write access</b>"
1.15 grr 80: can commit changes directly to the OpenBSD source tree, while "Anonymous
1.99 ericj 81: CVS" users have "<b>read access</b>" and can keep their local copies of the source
1.15 grr 82: up to date and issue queries against the central depository.
1.99 ericj 83: </p>
84:
1.15 grr 85: <p>
1.22 niklas 86: The major strength of CVS is that it has the ability to perform intelligent
1.15 grr 87: merges of changes to the central repository with changes that you make to
88: your local copy. This means that if you make a change to a module and
89: perform an update, your changes are not "blown away", rather CVS makes
90: best efforts to merge the changes made to the central sources with changes
91: you've made to your local copy.
1.99 ericj 92: </p>
93:
1.15 grr 94: <p>
95: In the event that the changes can't be completely merged, CVS provides a
96: "soft fallback", in terms of providing you with annotated changes to your
1.39 todd 97: local copy, preserving an unmodified copy of your version and continuing
1.15 grr 98: to update any other source modules you requested.

105: The latest version of CVS is available at
106: <a href=http://download.cyclic.com/pub/>Cyclic</a>.
107: Versions earlier than 1.6 are not recommended, and may not work.
108: If you already have OpenBSD installed, CVS is included.

1.22 niklas 111: <p>
1.99 ericj 112: People who own an OpenBSD CD may have seen the <i>CVS/</i> dirs on it.
113: Actually there is a reason, the CD has a checkout of the OpenBSD <b>src</b> module
1.95 millert 114: usable to continue updating from. Using this tree will result in a much
1.23 mickey 115: faster initial CVS update than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD
116: source tree. There are two ways of using the CD:
1.99 ericj 117: </p>
118:
1.23 mickey 119: <ul>
1.99 ericj 120: <li>To copy the CVS tree from the CD to <i>/usr/src</i> (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt):
1.22 niklas 121: <pre>
1.99 ericj 122: # <b>cd /mnt; pax -rw CVS Makefile [a-z]* /usr/src</b>
1.22 niklas 123: </pre>
1.99 ericj 124: <li>Use a union mount with the CD below a writable directory. (This can be used when only compiling from the tree.)
1.22 niklas 125: <pre>
1.99 ericj 126: # <b>mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src</b>
1.22 niklas 127: </pre>
1.23 mickey 128: </ul>
1.100 ericj 129:
130: <p>
131: For people who don't have a CD on hand, you can use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&format=html">cvs(1)</a> to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository for you. This is discussed in the <a href="#using">next section</a>.
132: </p>
133:
134: <p>
1.99 ericj 135: After this, <i>/usr/src</i> will be a nice checkout area where all <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&format=html">cvs(1)</a> commands will work OK.
1.100 ericj 136: </p>

138: <a name="using"></a>
139: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Using CVS(1) to get and update your source tree.</font></h3>
140:
141: <p>
142: CVS was designed to be a simple way to retrive and update your sources, therefore there
143: isn't much involved at all in doing so. To start off you must know which Anonymous CVS server you are going to use. A list of these servers is <a href="#CVSROOT">below</a>.
144: Do, however, notice that there are only 3 ways to access these servers.
145: </p>
1.99 ericj 146:
1.100 ericj 147: <ul>
148: <li><b>ssh</b> - Secure Shell can be used to access the anonymous CVS servers. This is the <b>recommended</b> way of doing so, as it is encrypted. As of 2.6 OpenBSD has included OpenSSH in its standard distribution.
149: <li><b>rsh</b> - Remote Shell can be used on some of the servers for users who don't have access to <a href="http://www.openssh.com">ssh</a>
150: <li><b>pserver</b> - pserver is primarily useful for users who are behind firewalls that block the other two connections.
151: </ul>
152:
153: <p>
154: <b>NOTE:</b> - For users wishing to use ssh, you must first set the <i>CVS_RSH</i> variable to ssh.
155:
156: <ul>
157: <li> For Korn/Bourne shells.
158: <pre>
159: $ <b>export CVS_RSH="/usr/bin/ssh"</b>
160: </pre>
161: <li> For CSH based shells.
162: <pre>
163: $ <b>setenv CVS_RSH /usr/bin/ssh</b>
164: </pre>
165: </ul>
166:
167: <p>
168: Once you have chosen which <a href="#CVSROOT">Anonymous CVS Server</a> you will use, and which method you will use, you can start using cvs. For those of you who have CD's you can start with the CVS checkout that is on the CD by using the method <a href="#starting">above</a> to get the sources onto your system. If you don't have a CD handy, use the method below to checkout the sources. This method puts the OpenBSD source tree into <i>/usr/src</i>.
169: </p>
170:
171: <p>
172: <ul><pre>
173: # <b>cd /usr; cvs checkout src</b>
174: </ul></pre>
175: </p>
1.99 ericj 176:
1.1 deraadt 177: <p>
1.100 ericj 178: The above will checkout the most current sources. Many of you will only want the release sources, especially if you are patching your system. To checkout release sources you must specify a tag along with your command. Example:
179: </p>
1.1 deraadt 180:
181: <p>
1.100 ericj 182: <ul><pre>
183: # <b>cd /usr; cvs checkout -rOPENBSD_2_6 src</b>
184: </ul></pre>
185: Or OPENBSD_2_5 for 2.5, etc.

1.1 deraadt 191:

193: There are two levels of source tree access:
194:
195: <dl>
196: <dt><strong>Read-write access for developers:</strong>
197: <dd>Developers who need to commit changes to the source tree must have
198: an account on the OpenBSD machines. Getting this access will be a
199: natural result of working on the sources with other OpenBSD developers.
200: If someone does some good work and shows they can work with the team,
201: they will get an account.
202: </dl>
203:
204: <dl>
205: <dt><strong>Read-only access for everyone:</strong>
206: <dd>Anyone can access the read-only CVS repositories. These copies
207: of the read-write CVS repository are mirrored often. To use one,
208: set your <strong>CVSROOT</strong> environment variable to one of

1.1 deraadt 413: <p>
414: A sample use of an anoncvs CVS server would be:
1.104 ericj 415: <ul><pre>
416: % <strong>setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs</strong>
417: % <strong>cd /tmp</strong>
418: % <strong>cvs get src/sys/arch/sparc</strong>
1.12 grr 419: [copies the files from the repository to your machine]
1.104 ericj 420: % <strong>cvs log src/sys/arch/sparc/sparc/locore.s</strong>
1.12 grr 421: [shows the commit log for the chosen file ]
1.104 ericj 422: % <strong>cvs diff -bc -r1.1 -r1.5 src/sys/arch/sparc/sparc/locore.s</strong>
1.12 grr 423: [shows the changes between revisions 1.1 and rev 1.5]
1.104 ericj 424: </pre></ul>
1.1 deraadt 425:
426: <p>
1.18 todd 427: <a name=pserver>In order to use a cvs ``pserver'' (a direct tcp connection instead of using ssh or rsh) you must login once:</a>
1.104 ericj 428:
429: <ul><pre>
1.18 todd 430: [ *NOTE* You must be using cvs version 1.8 or higher to do this ]
1.104 ericj 431: % <strong>setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs</strong>
432: % <strong>cvs login</strong>
1.59 beck 433: (Logging in to anoncvs@anoncvs1.ca.openbsd.org)
1.104 ericj 434: CVS password: <strong>anoncvs</strong>
1.18 todd 435: [this writes a line to ~/.cvspass (filename over-ridden by CVS_PASSFILE).]
436: [An example line from my ~/.cvspass after typing 'blah' for the above ]
437: [password is: ]
438: [:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs5.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs Au'yc ]
439: [...after logging in ONCE every other use of the above CVSROOT will work ]
1.104 ericj 440: % <strong>cvs get ksrc-i386 ksrc-common</strong>
1.18 todd 441: [allows you to retrieve ONLY that necessary to rebuild an i386 kernel ]
1.104 ericj 442: </pre></ul>
1.18 todd 443:
444: <p>
1.39 todd 445: Here is how someone using anoncvs regularly would update his
1.1 deraadt 446: source tree:
1.60 millert 447: <ul><li>First, start out by `get'-ing an initial tree:
1.27 todd 448:
1.104 ericj 449: <ul><pre>
450: # <strong>setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs</strong>
451: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
452: # <strong>cvs -q get -PA src</strong>
453: </pre></ul>
1.27 todd 454: </li>
1.37 todd 455:
1.27 todd 456: <li> Anytime afterwards, to `update' this tree:
1.104 ericj 457: <ul><pre>
458: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
459: # <strong>cvs -q up -PAd</strong>
460: </pre></ul>
1.27 todd 461:
1.39 todd 462: Everytime you ran this it would synchronize your /usr/src tree. It would
1.1 deraadt 463: not destroy any of your local changes, rather it would attempt to merge
464: changes in. If you use obj directories (not obj symbolic links) you may
465: wish to append "-I obj" to the cvs command line, this will keep cvs from
466: spitting out a warning about all the obj directories it is going to
467: encounter which are not in the repository.
1.72 millert 468:
469: <p>
470: <li> NOTE: if you are updating a source tree that you initially fetched
471: from a different server, or from a CD, you <strong>must</strong>
472: add the <em>-d $CVSROOT</em> options to cvs. You must also set the
473: <em>CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT</em> environment variable.
474:
1.104 ericj 475: <ul><pre>
476: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
477: # <strong>cvs -d $CVSROOT -q up -PAd</strong>
478: </pre></ul>
1.72 millert 479:
1.27 todd 480: </li>
481: </ul>
482:
1.37 todd 483: <p>
484: To <a name=ports>use</a> <a href=ports.html>ports</a>, it is similar to src:
485: <ul><li>
486: <pre>
1.104 ericj 487: # <strong>setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs</strong>
488: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
489: # <strong>cvs -q get -PA ports</strong>
1.38 deraadt 490: </pre>
1.37 todd 491: </li>
492: <li> Anytime afterwards, to `update' this tree:
493: <pre>
1.104 ericj 494: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
495: # <strong>cvs -q up -PAd ports</strong>
1.37 todd 496: </pre>
497: </li>
498: </p>
499: </ul>
500:
1.104 ericj 501: In the above example, <i>-q</i> is optional, only intended to minimize
1.27 todd 502: cvs's output. For those who like to see screenfulls of output, it
503: can be omitted.

518:
519: <p>
1.105 ericj 520: <strong>X11 Source tree</strong>
521: <br>
522: Anoncvs mirrors also carry the OpenBSD X11 source tree. You can adapt
523: the recipe above to update your X11 source tree from the second CD.
524: Either copy or use a union mount to get the X11 sources in <i>/usr/X11</i>:
525:
526: <ul>
527: <li>copy the tree off it (assuming the 2nd CD is mounted on /mnt):
528: <pre>
529: # <strong>cd /mnt; cp -Rp X11 /usr</strong>
530: </pre>
531: <li>use a union mount with the CD below a writable directory.
532: <pre>
533: # <strong>mount -t union -o -b /mnt/X11 /usr/X11</strong>
534: </pre></ul>
535:
536: After this, <i>/usr/X11</i> will be ready to be used by cvs. You can for
537: example update it to -current source (assuming you've already set
538: the <b>CVSROOT</b> environment variable):
539:
540: <ul><pre>
541: # <strong>cd /usr/X11</strong>
542: # <strong>cvs -q update -PAd</strong>
543: </pre></ul>
544:
545: <p>
1.12 grr 546: <strong>Warning:</strong>
547: When using cvs you should take care that your current directory is either
548: the root of the tree you're referencing or in a separate place such as /tmp.
549: Some commands such as "get" can create an arbitrary sub-tree in the current
550: directory, and a subsequent update will recursively flesh out this sub-tree.
551:
552: <p>
1.1 deraadt 553: The anoncvs service gives fledgling developers a chance to learn CVS
554: operation and get thoroughly involved in the development process
555: before getting "commit" access -- as a result of showing useful
556: skills and high quality results they will naturally later be given
557: developer access. As well, people providing patches can create
558: their "diff"s relative to the CVS tree, which will ease integration.

562: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Use rsh(1) or ssh(1)?</font></h3>
563:
1.1 deraadt 564: <p>
1.15 grr 565: <strong>Anoncvs: rsh vs. ssh</strong>
1.12 grr 566: <br>
567: By default, the CVS client uses rsh to talk to the CVS server. Many
1.39 todd 568: of the CVS sites no longer support rsh for security reasons or a local
1.12 grr 569: problem like a firewall or imperfect protocol emulator such as slirp
570: may prevent you from using rsh.
1.97 deraadt 571: The alternative is a to use a "secure shell" connection using either
572: <a href=http://www.openssh.com>OpenSSH (*FREE*)</a> or
573: <a href=http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh/>ssh (non-commercial and commercial)</a>.
1.68 wvdputte 574:
575: <p>
1.97 deraadt 576: The OpenBSD anoncvs repositries support the SSH1 protocol, not the SSH2
577: protocol due to the use of a "strict non-commercial use licensing policy".
1.28 beck 578:
1.75 millert 579: <p>
580: Once ssh is installed, one sets the environment variable
1.28 beck 581: <strong>CVS_RSH</strong> to point to ssh (typically
582: <strong>/usr/local/bin/ssh</strong>). If your local site prevents you
583: from connecting out to port 22 (which ssh defaults to using) use port
584: 2022.
1.1 deraadt 585:
586: <p>
587: Do not be tempted to turn on compression since CVS already compresses.
588: Use something like the following in your <strong>$HOME/.ssh/config</strong>
1.10 millert 589: file. Note that not all anoncvs servers allow ssh connections on
1.21 millert 590: port 2022. Also note that most anoncvs servers no longer accept
591: the <strong>none</strong> cipher as it is disabled in recent
592: versions of ssh for security reasons.

1.102 deraadt 624: <a href=mailto:sup@openbsd.org>maintainer</a>.
1.30 beck 625: Anoncvs mirrors require about 500MB of disk, and use up to 4MB of swap
1.1 deraadt 626: per anoncvs user (assuming the user does a large operation; while smaller
627: operations use fewer resources, anoncvs still makes much more of an
628: impact than ftp or sup). Such anoncvs machines should have excellent

632:
1.60 millert 633: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Final notes:</font></h3>
634: After upgrading your source tree, you should read the comments
635: at the top of <KBD>/usr/src/Makefile</KBD> before attemping
636: a build. Also, you should build a new kernel <strong>before</strong>
1.101 ericj 637: doing a <KBD>make build</KBD> if possible. In some cases it may be
1.60 millert 638: necessary to rebuild and install the <KBD>config</KBD> utility before
639: you can build the kernel. If <KBD>config GENERIC</KBD> fails this
640: is probably the case.
641: <p>
642: It is important to note that upgrading from a release to the current tree
643: by rebuilding the sources can be rather difficult due to dependencies
644: that are often not obvious. Therefore, it is suggested that you first
645: install the latest snapshot before attemping a tree build from source.
