cvsup-mirror
I am having quite the issue with a cvsup-mirror install (1.3_8) here. It seems to be keeping some meta information file somewhere and has FAILED to give me a local mirror (not one to be publicly available) yet. Being the stubborn person I am, I have multiple times cleared some and all of the following to try to resolve the problem... /usr/local/etc/cvsup the package itself /home/ncvs /home/cvsupin /usr/ports/ports/net/cvsup-mirror And each time it takes ~5 hours to download 1.5GB of data in /home/ncvs then a client connecting to itself fails to work. Latest problem is -- Quote Server warning: Cannot open "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs/src/gnu/lib/libgmp/mpz/get_si.c,v": No such file or directory Server warning: Cannot open "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs/src/gnu/lib/libgmp/mpz/get_str.c,v": No such file or directory Server warning: Cannot open "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs/src/gnu/lib/libgmp/mpz/get_ui.c,v": No such file or directory Server warning: Cannot open "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs/src/gnu/lib/libgmp/mpz/getlimbn.c,v": No such file or directory -- /Quote It's just a snippet.. It can't find ANYTHING. Other problems included the inability to even select the src-all/cvs or ports-all/cvs (trees? branches?) in the server, yet it has 1.5GB downloaded. What'd help me to learn what's wrong is the line in config.sh as below: distribs="distrib.self .. . FreeBSD.cvs /home/ncvs . FreeBSD-www.current SKIP . FreeBSD-gnats.current SKIP gnats FreeBSD-mail.current SKIP ." My guess is it names a distribution and puts a directory it stores the files into in the next argument, separated by space. Next distribution is named and it's directory it stores the files into as the next one past that, with all distributions separated by a single period. Then the word 'gnats' throws me off because I . don't know what the heck it's there for.. is the '.' an alias instead to the first item in the line, meaning it's a tuple? (distrib storedir alias)... What throws me off is that the /usr/local/etc/cvsup directory was tarred up from a working mirror and copied here and let the update.sh run for 5 hours, to come to the above quoted warnings (but I'm treating them as errors). The working system has about 4GB in /home/ncvs that works for me, but this one can't get past 1.5GB. Working system has been working beautifully for several months (6?).. so maybe it's just collective. I really would like to get a bearing on cvsup-mirror, but have no clue what to google or read to find out some of the troubleshooting guides. --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Res: Question: Howto Cvsup mirror?
Yes, I know that this package exists... but I'm trying to setup a cvsup server on a CENTOS 5.2 machine.

Question: Howto Cvsup mirror?
Hi, I've been trying to setup a freebsd7.0 mirror on my network for my needs. The ftp mirror is working great(used a repository with cobbler) but with the cvsup mirror I'm quite lost. I read in the freebsd handbook what cvsup does and how it works but I didn't find anywhere explaining how to create a mirror. Since the mirror server on the network runs centos5.2 I tried running csup instead of compiling cvsup with modula3. I tried it out with the supfiles I use on the freebsd7.0 machines and it worked pretty well I guess... Now... what kind of server should I use ? is there a cvsupd I can use? or a normal CVS server should be enough ? Thanks Oliver vBK Novos endereços, o Yahoo! que você conhece.

The definition of "uncommitted patches" is that they aren't *in* the cvs repository. cvs can try to merge changes into your checked-out sources instead of overwriting them like cvsup does, but that's the closest I can think of to what you seem to be saying. > what do I need to do this?

cvsup mirror is failing
I went to update one of my machines today, and as a precaution, i checked the local cvsup mirro log. here's what I found: CVSup update begins at 2005-11-03 05:33:00 Updating from cvsup-master.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup-master.freebsd.org No record for server "freefall.freebsd.org" in "/home/cvsupin/.cvsup/auth" CVSup update ends at 2005-11-03 05:33:00 I have no idea how long this has been failing, as I;ve been busy on other things.

You are adding cvs characteristics to a cvsup mirror. Somewhere in there, I think you are confused but I don't know where. The cvsup mirror works perfectly. It cuts down on your use of a slow internet and lets you use a 100Mbs internal network. The whole purpose is to cut down on traffic to your favorite mirror and cvsup-mirror does an excellant job of doing that.

Hi, cvsup-mirror is for running your own cvsup server to distribute FreeBSD files to others. You probably just want to use cvsup with an appropriate supfile - usually based on one of the samples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup.

It looks like cvsup doesn't like a line in your cvs-mirror's checkouts.cvs;. file. It is a text file. You can edit it and remove the line and try to update your mirror. There have been times when people have deleted their checkouts file. The next mirror update goes pretty slow but works.

Make Release with CVSROOT pointing at a CVSup mirror
Hello, everyone. I'm attempting to roll my own -CURRENT release and am having a problem getting the correct syntax for CVSROOT. I have a CVS mirror running on my gateway (-STABLE) system via the cvsup-mirror port and would like to use this to build a release on a remote VMWare -CURRENT system, avoiding me from having to schlep around the multi-gig repository to build releases on my various test boxes. I cannot seem to get the correct syntax to CVSROOT to allow make release to pull from the networked repository and keep getting connection refused error messages. Indeed, all the handbook and other documentation I give refers to a local CVSROOT, so I'm unclear if it is even possible to roll a release against a remote repository. Is this sort of build scenario supported? If so, what would sample syntax be against a cvsup-mirror created repository look like? Thanks for the help! David pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

cvsup-mirror
Hi everyone :) I just installed cvsup-mirror. When it asked me about 'distributions' I was not entirely sure what that meant, so I accepted them all. I actually just need to create a mirror from which I can locally distribute 'src-all' and 'ports-all' using cvsup on my collection of local machines. Perhaps 'doc-all' would be nice too (later). Now, cvsup-mirror started running the distribution 'FreeBSD.cvs', and that seems to include docs, etc. Is that all I will need? What exactly are the other distributions, like 'FreeBSD-mail', etc? Finally, can I enable/disable the distributions simply by editing the value of 'distribs="...' in the file '/usr/local/etc/cvsup/config.sh'? Thanks. -- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly.
