and if you're going to set up a local mirror, save yourself a couple of days' sync time. Instead of synchronizing from scratch, start with the most recent seed file (repository archive) available on your nearest FTP mirror. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/ Clues for building a mirror can be found here: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/subversion-primer.html#AEN1201> ...but if you're only using it for testing - and it doesn't need to be up to date - then you don't need to worry about setting up svnsync and updating your local mirror. Simply unbundling an archive of a repository from a seed file and serving it via svnserve (and/or apache) is all you need to do. -- John Marshall
