I've been rsyncing against anoncvs (and/or mirrors) for ~years, without issues. I've just noticed build issues, and tracked it down to the following dirs missing from my rsync of the anoncvs repo:
src/external/gpl3/gcc.old src/external/gpl3/gdb.old Running a diff between a cvs checkout of the local rsync repo and a cvs checkout direct from anoncvs seems to show quite a lot of stuff missing from the rsync'ed repo (1854 dirs/files). Permissions issue, perhaps? FYI: I'm currently rsyncing against anoncvs.NetBSD.org::cvsroot I assume this is still a somewhat supported method of keeping up to date sources?
