Hi, I work in a research environnement. I found and installed FreeBSD
2.2.6. But now I need to recompile the Kernel but the download did not come
with the src directory.
I know that I can check on the CVS server but I don't know how to get the
files.
I would appreciate if someone can e-mail me the src directory or tell me
where a can get it or how to get it if I have to go on the CVS server.
Have you got a copy of cvsup that will work on that old a system? If
so, then you should be able to use a supfile like the following to
retrieve all of the system sources:
*default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release cvs tag=RELENG_2_2 (or RELENG_2_2_6_RELEASE)
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
Then I believe you may have to hunt around in /usr/share/examples/cvsup
to find out how to download some extra crypto stuff which has been
rolled into the main codebase for modern releases.
If you can't get hold of a version of cvsup that works on that system,
you should be able to pull down the sources by anonymous cvs:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html
where you will ultimately want to run:
cvs co -rRELENG_2_2 src
which should get you the latest 2.2.x sources for the kernel and the
rest of the system.
Cheers,
Matthew
