It may be difficult to run an svn mirror that allows you to commit locally and get those changes back to the project, but running a read-only mirror is trivial. The script I run nightly from cron to sync my local mirror is: #!/bin/sh # # svnsync to pull in changes from FreeBSD to my local mirror. # svnsync sync file:///local/vc/svn/base I can't remember how I initially created and populated the mirror, but it's likely I grabbed a snapshot of the mirror at work and brought it home on a thumb drive (just to avoid initial network DL time). -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
