Many thanks to Sascha Blank for setting this up and maintaining it! Attached is Sascha's own description of the new site. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth ------- Forwarded Message I ask you to announce my CVSup server on ftp.uni-trier.de (now aka "ctm.freebsd.org"). It is running now for about six weeks so I am quite sure that it is ready for public service. My CVSup site is in so far different from the other sites as its repository is solemnly updated by the incoming CTM cvs-all deltas (ftp.uni-trier.de is a CTM fallback repository as well, so that's no problem for me). Because of this you can (only) get all distributions and releases from the categories "FreeBSD.cvs", "FreeBSD-crypto.cvs" and "distrib.self". As I use the CTM "cvs-cur" deltas to update my source repository the entire tree is always a snapshot of the latest "cvs-cur" CTM tree. That means if you cvsup "cvs-all" with release=cvs from my site you get a version of the repository (including the inevitable ".ctm_status" file) which is suitable for being updated using the CTM "cvs-cur" deltas. This allows users who track the entire "cvs-all" tree to go from CVSup to CTM without having to rebuild their repository from scratch using a fresh CTM base delta. Please note that this special feature only works for the "cvs-all" distribution and "cvs" as the release tag. CVSupping any other distribution and/or release will get you the specified distribution but that one will not be suitable for CTM updating. Besides of that feature you can use my CVSup server like any other CVSup server. Another note: The crypto parts are set up from the international CTM deltas. As there is no automatic email delivery of these deltas I have to get and apply them by hand, so the crypto section may be a day or two older than compared to other sites. As a summary here are the details: Service: CVSup of FreeBSD source repository Host: ftp.uni-trier.de (aka ctm.freebsd.org) Port: default CVSup port Offered Distributions: all from "FreeBSD.cvs", "FreeBSD-crypto.cvs" and "distrib.self" Number of concurrent users allowed: 10 Repository accessible via anon-ftp: Yes, under /pub/unix/systems/BSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current on the same site Other access restrictions: none Logging: Every access is logged for statistical and maintenance reasons.
