The Computer Society hosts a
CVSup server
for the benefit of the Purdue
community and the wider OpenSource
community. The machine (sanmateo.csociety.org) is also known
as cvsup6.freebsd.org and
cvsup.usa.openbsd.org. See our network page for information on the server's specs.
To obtain specific portions of these repositories, please see the
documentation for the specific tree you're trying to get:
This machine supports anoncvs for
FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
To use that service:
export CVSROOT=freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs
cvs co module ...
export CVSROOT=openbsdanoncvs@anoncvs.csociety.org:/cvs
cvs co module ...
The machine hosts a
CVSync service as
well. Available collections are:
- freebsd, freebsd-cvsroot, freebsd-doc, freebsd-ports, freebsd-projects,
freebsd-src, freebsd-www
- openbsd, openbsd-cvsroot, openbsd-ports, openbsd-src, openbsd-www,
openbsd-x11, openbsd-xf4
Please note that this currently only supports synchronizing of repositories;
it does not support checkout mode like CVSup does. However, it is useful
because it supports IPv6 and because CVSync is portable; it is more likely
to run for those who have OpenBSD on non-i386 machines. Please also note
that CVSync is still an experimental tool.
You might ask, when or how often does our server update the repositories?
Here are the answers:
FreeBSD: server cvsup-master.freebsd.org once an hour at 46 minutes
past the hour. Usually finishes synchronizing in 1-5 minutes.
OpenBSD: server cvsup.ca.openbsd.org once every 6 hours at 24 minutes
past the hour. Usually finishes synchronizing in 3-20 minutes.
In addition to cvsup, anoncvs, and cvsync services, you can also access our
FreeBSD and OpenBSD repositories via cvsweb.
We've also got some nice modular scripts for managing multiple
repository cvsup/anoncvs servers, but currently we can't offer
these online yet. This will come later, of course. :)
