I have one machine with 4.4-STABLE, which is getting the source code via cvsup from an official mirror server. The data is saved where it belongs, i.e. /usr/src and /usr/ports. To save bandwidth and time I want my other 20 machines to get the source code from this one machine, just like if every machine would connect to an official mirror. So I set up cvsupd according to the manpage and the FAQ on the website. /usr/sup/src-bin/releases: cvs list=checkout.cvs:RELENG_4 prefix=/usr The checkout.cvs files are the ones which are generated when doing a cvsup from a mirror site. On the client: /etc/cvsupfile: *default server="" *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_4 src-bin < other packages > The server is running with: -b /usr -s sup -l logfile The client is connecting to the server and then says it would update the files, but when it is finished there is only the /usr/sup directory with the subdirectories and an empty checkout.cvs:RELENG_4 file. Well, empty means in this case that there is only the first line, which is the timestamp of the last check I assume... There had been no files transmitted (and it was too fast finished for that). What am I doing wrong? PS: I'm not on the list, so please cc me a copy. Arne To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
