How can I update DragonFly's source with rsync? I tried: rsync -e rsh rsync://rsync.theshell.com/pub/DragonFly /usr/src but it don't work. Where is my error? I think you're expecting to be able to rsync a checked-out version of the src tree? If so, theshell.com doesn't offer that. If you want to grab the cvs repository, try something like: rsync -rtl --delete rsync.theshell.com/pub/DragonFly/dcvs/ /home/dcvs This will fetch the entire cvs repository, and then you'll be able to check out sources using cvs from that. To be fair for testing, you'll probably want to make cvsup grab the same thing (look at /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile). If checked-out sources are desired, I guess I could set that up. I think you need to figure out exactly what you're benchmarking. --Peter pgpzP9CsoAjA7.pgp Description: PGP signature

HEADS UP: lukemftpd removed from base

lukemftpd revisited
Just over a year ago, Carl Schmidt brought up an interesting question regarding lukemftpd: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2005-09/msg00111.html In it and in the response Carl basically asks what's the deal with having lukemftpd in base, and if people prefer lukemftpd to the standard ftpd then why not make lukemftpd the standard ftpd? And Matt Dillon responded with a no: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2005-09/msg00113.html Then Carl asks why not remove lukemftpd from the src tree: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2005-09/msg00114.html and it appears he never receives a response. So, since Matt doesn't want lukemftpd as our ftpd and since lukemftpd (aka tnftpd) is available from pkgsrc, why don't we remove lukemftpd from our src tree? --Peter pgpfMcF2NffCj.pgp Description: PGP signature

If so then you can change the default linkages in HEAD for bsdtar and gtar to link bsdtar as 'tar' instead of gnu tar. The version I imported was released on Sep. 5th, 2006, so it should include everything. I'll change the symlink to make bsdtar the default, and I'll replace the WITH_BSDTAR option with WITH_GTAR and make it dtrt. Lets keep gnu tar in the build for one release cycle, as gtar only, then we can remove it in favor of a pkgsrc-only install. Sounds good. pgprgcUZu7ozL.pgp Description: PGP signature

It sounds ok to me but I do seem to recall that some issues popped up when FreeBSD did this, so my provisio in importing bsdtar is that you (Peter) review the FreeBSD mailing lists for bsdtar related discussions and put together a summary of any issues that may have come up and whether the latest release addresses them (assuming the issues are even important). Reviewing FreeBSD mailing lists was quite challenging, but here's some issues that came up other than normal bug fixes: No --use-compress-program option. libarchive and bsdtar automatically detects the type of archive, and if it recognizes it, will choose the correct algorithm. There were some issues with symlinks and schg, but those were fixed. -l is intentionally broken due to the disagreement between POSIX and GNU about what that option should actually do. Tape handling, multi-volume, and sparse file support isn't really there, but I don't consider those show-stoppers. Many of the problem reports were fixed by Tim, and I don't see outstanding bugs/gripes that should preclude us from switching over. Joerg mentioned an option that wasn't implemented yet, but I don't know what it was.

The only problem area that I see is the 'l' option. That option is (or was) used a *LOT* by people using tar to back-up partitions. I think we can survive as long as anyone attempting to use the option gets a fatal error which describes the situation in clear terms. That's exactly what happens: % bsdtar -l Error: -l has different behaviors in different tar programs. For the GNU behavior, use --one-file-system instead. For the POSIX behavior, use --check-links instead. I have never used --multi-volume or --use-compress-program. Those are things that probably ought to be piped anyhow. Were there any issues regarding compatibility between bsdtar and gtar? e.g. someone taring up with gtar and detarring with bsdtar, or vise-versa, for archive transfers between machines ? Yes, but I can't see any problem reports that are still outstanding. Can anyone else find any? --Peter pgpEllEM38AJA.pgp Description: PGP signature

In a lazy bit of local benchmarking, my system sees bsdtar running slightly faster. bsdtar doesn't appear to handle tape (yet), but I don't know how much of an issue that is right now, and tape backup seems to be experiencing a slow fade, in any case...
