Still, it's a one-time expense; your ongoing download requirements may even be a little *smaller* for keeping the whole cvs tree. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: cvsup-mirror supfile configuration for specific source
Thanks for the response. However, I'm trying to avoid having to download the entire cvs tree considering I only need the source 5.5 Release or 6.2 Release. The ports tree would be great as well. The CVS Repository is 3.1 GB which is a rather large amount for us to download. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/hubs/mirror-requirem ents.html -Original Message- From: Lowell Gilbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 April 2007 17:55 To: Anthony Human Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: cvsup-mirror supfile configuration for specific source "Anthony Human" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Currently we have quite a number of servers running either 5.5 Release > or 6.2 Release.

cvsup-mirror supfile configuration for specific source
Hello, Currently we have quite a number of servers running either 5.5 Release or 6.2 Release. I would like to configure a BSD box as a cvsup-mirror to serve our internal servers. I am doing this to hopefully save both time and bandwidth when updating. Please could someone assist me with configuring the supfile to only download the source for the above versions? Any other advice/tips would be much appreciated. The default supfile looks so: --- # # Standard supfile for CVSup FreeBSD mirrors. # *default delete use-rel-suffix umask=002 cvs-allrelease=cvsprefix=prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs gnats release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-gnats.current www release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-www.current mail-archive release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-mail.current distrib release=selfprefix=prefixes/distrib.self --- Thanks, Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
