Here are my quick instructions. John How to become a CVSup mirror site: * Make sure your country really needs another mirror. If it already has 3 or more, ask jdp@freebsd.org first. * Read this: http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/cvsup-access/ * Subscribe to freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org. * Install CVSup-16.1 using either (a) the "net/cvsup-bin" and "net/cvsupd-bin" ports (preferred), or (b) the "net/cvsup" port. * Follow these instructions: http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/cvpasswd/ Make sure you specify the server as "freefall.freebsd.org" on the cvpasswd command line. * Install the "net/cvsup-mirror" port. Specify the master site as "cvsup-master.freebsd.org" when it asks you. * Once you are sure your mirror site is working OK, ask the DNS administrator of the "xx.freebsd.org" zone (where "xx" is your country) to add a CNAME "cvsupN.xx.freebsd.org" pointing to your mirror. * Ask jdp@freebsd.org to add your mirror site to the FreeBSD Handbook. Make sure you tell him the e-mail address to list as the maintainer of the site. * To get better performance and lower system loads during updates from the master site, edit "/etc/crontab" and add the option "-s" at the end of the command "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh". Make sure your mirror is working well before you do this. That's all! :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
