Hi,
I have 2 FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p7 machines side-by-side on a
home network,
curly and larry.
I want to mirror some directories from curly to larry with
cvsup as an
exercise and as a backup.
The directories on curly I want to mirror are:
/root, /seeds, and /etc.
I have those working perfectly, now I want to add /usr/local/etc.
I created the directory
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc on curly.
I created /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc/etc.cvs and
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc/releases.
etc.cvs contains the lines:
Upgrade usr/local/etc
Rsymlink *
Releases contains the line:
Usr/local/etc list=etc.cvs prefix=/
When I start cvsupd -b /usr/local/etc/cvsup -C 1 -l
/dev/stdout, I get:
# Listen failed: Port in use
I checked the handbook section on cvsup, may have missed the
answer, but
no joy.
Can anyone point me to my error?
I have some further info...
'Listen failed: Port in use' is no longer an issue, I changed
the cvsupd
command to:
# cvsupd -l /dev/stdout
Which makes it serve 1 client and then exit.
The issue now is that I cannot update /usr/local/etc.
After re-reading man cvsupd, I have done the following on curly:
# rm -dr /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr
# cd /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup
# mkdir local
# cd local
# echo local list=local prefix=/usr/local/etc releases
# echo upgrade local local.cvs
# echo rsymlink * local.cvs
And on larry, I edited my /etc/mirror-supfile to include:
*default base=/disk2
*default release=local
Local
Now cvsupd runs successfully on curly, *but* it shows:
0Kin+0Kout local/local
And no files are transferred from curly /usr/local/etc to
larry /disk2/
What am I doing wrong?
I finally got it!
I changed the 'releases' file:
Local list=local.cvs prefix=/usr
Now it copies everything in curly /usr/local/ to larry /disk2/local/
After I think about it, even though that's more than I wanted
(/usr/local/etc), it's good to backup everything there, so I'm
satisfied.
