In my cvsup config file looks like this The reasons why some of the paths are changed is this machine(dev) is nfs mounted onto the live box: freebsd# cat /usr/src-dev/local/etc/cvsup/cvs-supfile # $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile,v 1.26.2.3 2000/09/22 06:31:21 asami Exp $ # # This file contains all of the "CVSup collections" that make up the # CVS development tree of the FreeBSD system. # # CVSup (CVS Update Protocol) allows you to download the latest CVS # tree (or any branch of development therefrom) to your system easily # and efficiently (far more so than with sup, which CVSup is aimed # at replacing). If you're running CVSup interactively, and are # currently using an X display server, you should run CVSup as follows # to keep your CVS tree up-to-date: # # cvsup cvs-supfile # # If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a non-interactive script, then # run it as follows: # # cvsup -g -L 2 cvs-supfile # # You may wish to change some of the settings in this file to better # suit your system: # # host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org # This specifies the server host which will supply the # file updates. You must change it to one of the CVSup # mirror sites listed in the FreeBSD Handbook at # http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html. # You can override this setting on the command line # with cvsup's "-h host" option. # # base=/usr # This specifies the root where CVSup will store information # about the collections you have transferred to your system. # A setting of "/usr" will generate this information in # /usr/sup. Even if you are CVSupping a large number of # collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more than # ~1MB of data in this directory. You can override the # "base" setting on the command line with cvsup's "-b base" # option. This directory must exist in order to run CVSup. # # prefix=/home/ncvs # This specifies where to place the requested files. A # setting of "/home/ncvs" will place all of the files # requested in /home/ncvs (e.g., "/home/ncvs/src/bin", # "/home/ncvs/ports/archivers"). The prefix directory # must exist in order to run CVSup. # Defaults that apply to all the collections # # IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites # listed at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html. *default tag=RELENG_4 #*default tag=. *default host=cvsup3.uk.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr/src-dev *default base=/usr/src-dev/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. #*default compress ## Main Source Tree. # # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection.
