41: Anonymous CVS is a method of keeping your local copy of the OpenBSD source
42: tree up to date with respect to changes made to current OpenBSD sources.
1.109 jason 43: In addition to following the bleeding edge of development, it is
44: also possible to track the patches for errata of a release.
1.99 ericj 45: </p>
46:
1.14 downsj 47: <p>
1.15 grr 48: The major advantage of Anonymous CVS over other source code update
49: techniques is that it works directly against a central source code
50: repository or mirror. This means that you have the full set of CVS
51: commands available to control merging and updating your changes with
1.154 jsyn 52: other source changes and for performing diffs, change histories
1.15 grr 53: and other queries against the central repository.
1.99 ericj 54: </p>
55:
1.36 deraadt 56: <p>
1.135 naddy 57: The OpenBSD Project currently has five main source repositories:
1.99 ericj 58: </p>
59:
60: <ul>
1.140 horacio 61: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.</li>
62: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="./ports.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.</li>
63: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages. (Including this one).</li>
1.135 naddy 64: <li><b>X11</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the
65: <a href="http://www.XFree86.org/">XFree86-3</a> software project.</li>
66: <li><b>XF4</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the

1.100 ericj 70: <p>
71: To summarize, the real strength of using Anonymous CVS is that it is
72: a "tolerant" source code control system - it <strong>respects</strong>
73: changes that you have made to your local sources and makes <strong>
74: "best efforts"</strong> to update your entire source tree, rather than
75: leaving you a list of arcane problems that have to be resolved before
76: continuing.

1.135 naddy 82: <a href="why-cvs.html">
1.36 deraadt 83: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source tree.</a>
1.16 deraadt 84: It implements a central repository for all officially released source code
1.15 grr 85: and changes, while permitting developers to maintain local copies of the
1.99 ericj 86: source code with their working changes. Developers with "<b>write access</b>"
1.15 grr 87: can commit changes directly to the OpenBSD source tree, while "Anonymous
1.155 jsyn 88: CVS" users have "<b>read access</b>" and can keep their local copies of the
1.169 miod 89: source up to date and issue queries against the central repository.
1.99 ericj 90: </p>
91:
1.15 grr 92: <p>
1.22 niklas 93: The major strength of CVS is that it has the ability to perform intelligent
1.15 grr 94: merges of changes to the central repository with changes that you make to
95: your local copy. This means that if you make a change to a module and
96: perform an update, your changes are not "blown away", rather CVS makes
97: best efforts to merge the changes made to the central sources with changes
98: you've made to your local copy.
1.99 ericj 99: </p>
100:
1.15 grr 101: <p>
102: In the event that the changes can't be completely merged, CVS provides a
103: "soft fallback", in terms of providing you with annotated changes to your
1.39 todd 104: local copy, preserving an unmodified copy of your version and continuing
1.15 grr 105: to update any other source modules you requested.

1.99 ericj 119: People who own an OpenBSD CD may have seen the <i>CVS/</i> dirs on it.
1.155 jsyn 120: Actually there is a reason, the CD has a checkout of the OpenBSD <b>src</b>
121: module usable to continue updating from. Using this tree will result in a much
1.23 mickey 122: faster initial CVS update than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD
123: source tree. There are two ways of using the CD:
1.99 ericj 124: </p>
125:
1.23 mickey 126: <ul>
1.155 jsyn 127: <li>To copy the CVS tree from the CD to <i>/usr/src</i> (assuming the CD is
128: mounted on /mnt):
1.22 niklas 129: <pre>
1.99 ericj 130: # <b>cd /mnt; pax -rw CVS Makefile [a-z]* /usr/src</b>
1.22 niklas 131: </pre>
1.155 jsyn 132: <li>Use a union mount (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount_union&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&format=html">mount_union(8)</a>)
133: with the CD below a writable directory. (This can be used when only compiling from the tree.)
1.22 niklas 134: <pre>
1.99 ericj 135: # <b>mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src</b>
1.22 niklas 136: </pre>
1.23 mickey 137: </ul>
1.100 ericj 138:
139: <p>
1.155 jsyn 140: 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">
141: cvs(1)</a> to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository for you. This is
142: discussed in the <a href="#using">next section</a>.
1.100 ericj 143: </p>
144:
145: <p>
1.155 jsyn 146: After this, <i>/usr/src</i> will be a nice checkout area where all
147: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&format=html">
148: cvs(1)</a> commands will work OK.

154: <p>
1.109 jason 155: CVS was designed to be a simple way to retrieve and update your sources,
156: therefore there isn't much involved at all in doing so. You must first
157: decide whether you want to track <i>current</i> or a patch branch.
1.112 kjell 158: The current tree has all of the up to the minute changes,
1.109 jason 159: whereas a patch branch contains a formal release plus the patches
1.157 heko 160: from the <a href="errata.html">errata</a> already applied. For a definition
161: of <i>current</i>, see the <a href="faq/upgrade-minifaq.html#1.1">Upgrade
162: Mini-FAQ</a>.
1.109 jason 163:
1.169 miod 164: <p>Once you have decided which tree to follow, you must choose which Anonymous
1.109 jason 165: CVS server you are going to use. A list of these servers is
1.135 naddy 166: <a href="#CVSROOT">below</a>. Do, however, notice that there are three ways
1.109 jason 167: to access these servers.

1.155 jsyn 171: <dt><b>ssh</b><dd>Secure Shell can be used to access the anonymous CVS servers.
172: This is the <em>recommended</em> way of doing so, as it is encrypted. As of
173: 2.6, OpenBSD has included OpenSSH in its standard distribution.
174: <dt><b>rsh</b><dd>Remote Shell can be used on some of the servers for users
175: who don't have access to <a href="http://www.openssh.com/">ssh</a>.
176: <dt><b>pserver</b><dd>pserver is primarily useful for users who are behind

1.100 ericj 179:
180: <p>
1.159 jcs 181: <b>NOTE:</b> For users wishing to use rsh, you must first set the

1.135 naddy 185: <li>For Korn/Bourne shells:

1.155 jsyn 196: Once you have chosen which <a href="#CVSROOT">Anonymous CVS Server</a> you will
197: use, and which method you will use, you can start using cvs. For those of you
198: who have CDs you can start with the CVS checkout that is on the CD by using
199: the method <a href="#starting">above</a> to get the sources onto your system.
200: If you don't have a CD handy, use the method below to checkout the sources.

1.109 jason 209: The above will checkout the <i>current</i> source tree. Many of you will
1.169 miod 210: only want the patch branch sources. To checkout a patch branch, you must
1.109 jason 211: specify a tag along with your command. Example:

743: Users wishing to mirror the OpenBSD CVS tree itself may now do so
1.143 millert 744: from <em>anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org</em> or <em>anoncvs1.usa.openbsd.org</em>
745: (these are different machines). Note that this is the cvs tree,

747: want to be able to do fast cvs operations (diff, annotate, etc) or
748: if you have multiple source trees and you only want to transfer new
749: data once (you can then checkout a tree from your local cvs mirror).

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

755: <p>
756: which would mirror the cvs tree into /home/cvs with the sup data
1.133 millert 757: files ending up in /home/sup. The full OpenBSD cvs tree is currently

1.60 millert 775: After upgrading your source tree, you should read the comments
1.154 jsyn 776: at the top of <KBD>/usr/src/Makefile</KBD> before attempting
1.60 millert 777: a build. Also, you should build a new kernel <strong>before</strong>
1.101 ericj 778: doing a <KBD>make build</KBD> if possible. In some cases it may be
1.60 millert 779: necessary to rebuild and install the <KBD>config</KBD> utility before
780: you can build the kernel. If <KBD>config GENERIC</KBD> fails this
781: is probably the case.
782: <p>
783: It is important to note that upgrading from a release to the current tree
784: by rebuilding the sources can be rather difficult due to dependencies
785: that are often not obvious. Therefore, it is suggested that you first
1.154 jsyn 786: install the latest snapshot before attempting a tree build from source.
