I think this was mentioned before two days ago.
Some days before I had the problem that the download hangs in xc/xc/util/patch infinitely. Now I tried to download completely
from scratch without success.
I'm running a quite up-to-date mirror in Germany - currently without public access, but we could change this. Though this mirror suffers from absence of the SF server too ....
Interest ?
Thanks a lot for your help. I have already loaded it via rsync from jose's mirror. Approx. 10 times faster than CVS...
It seems like anon cvs is something that causes project-hosting sites some discomfort... freedesktop.org doesn't have it in place right now, for instance.
However, I'm not sure rsync is a sufficiently useful tool to consider dropping anon cvs in its favor -- there's no concept of 'rsync diff' or of merging in repository changes with local ones. In other words, it can't be promoted as a replacement for cvs for non-registered-developers who are none the less trying to do some actual coding on the tree. For most tasks beyond simply tracking our trunk or branches, it seems inadequate and less useful than just posting a tarred up snapshot each night.

I'd like to give another plug for cvsup here. I consider it a reason to move to freedesktop (BK having been vetoed) even if sourceforge magically fixed everything about their CVS. cvsup allows users to quickly check out a branch of CVS or update it, as long as they aren't trying to keep local patches (which cvsup will overwrite). Doing it this way doesn't leave CVS directories, meaning no diffing. For developers, cvsup allows them to mirror the entire CVS repo and update it relatively quickly. My first cvsup of the FreeBSD repo in a week took 8 minutes (mainly due to the horrible condition of our campus internet). Then you can check out, diff, etc. from your local repo and use a shell alias/script to later commit to the public repository if you're a registered developer. Also cvsup is supposed to be easier on the servers compared to cvs use.
Having a local CVS mirror sound cool for me as a modem user. How feasible is it to regularly do a cvsup over a modem line? Is it comparable to rsync?
I did it for a couple of years with the FreeBSD repo over a 28.8, which
is more active than the DRI and at least 10 times bigger I would guess. The initial download will take a while, but you can cancel and resume as
necessary. I don't really know what rsync is like.
They sound pretty similar. Does cvsup understand things like 'cvs update -j' or branches?
Rsync just mirrors files, but does it well.
