CVSync web page
hi, i've just set up a little CVSync mirror, and following cvsync.html, i stumble on the "cvs [checkout aborted]: /cvs/CVSROOT: No such file or directory" issue when trying to checkout from my fresh mirror. Maybe it is worth saying on the page that cvs repository has to be init'ed with 'cvs -d /cvs init' before being usable for checkouts... or maybe i'm wrong somewhere. Landry

Why doesn't your mirror have CVSROOT? You're missing part of the repository. > Maybe it is worth saying on the page that cvs repository has to be > init'ed with 'cvs -d /cvs init' before being usable for checkouts...

Maybe upstream is missing something.. i'm cc'ing maintainer in case he's not subscribed to misc. i just launched 'cvsync cvsync://mirror.osn.de/openbsd-ports/rcs/?prefix=/cvs', and tried with a full config file too, as explained on the page.. > > > Maybe it is worth saying on the page that cvs repository has to be > > init'ed with 'cvs -d /cvs init' before being usable for checkouts... > > Certainly not. Ok, so my 'workaround' wasn't correct .. i suppose my cvsync copy is broken now ? Landry

With that URL you only fetch the ports collection. The top level of the repository looks like this: CVSROOT X11 XF4 ports src www xenocara If you skip some parts, you still need CVSROOT (corresponding to the openbsd-cvsroot collection above) for CVS operations. Of course, when you said "mirror" I assumed you wanted to get the whole thing. > Ok, so my 'workaround' wasn't correct .. i suppose my cvsync copy is > broken now ? Just delete the CVSROOT directory you created. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You don't get CVSROOT if you only fetch openbsd-ports. Just add
openbsd-cvsroot as an additional collection:
config {
hostname mirror.osn.de
collection {
name openbsd-ports
release rcs
prefix /cvs
}
collection {
name openbsd-cvsroot
release rcs
prefix /cvs
}
}
