Downloading sources from a SVN repository can already be done using tools in base, but at the expense of a terrible inefficiency. The FreeBSD SVN repositories are also accessible via http. The served pages are _very_ easy to parse, as you can see from the attachment. MD5 sums and all SVN properties are available through WebDAV requests (not handled by the script). I tried the attached script to download http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/ In 27 minutes it downloaded 67 megabytes, corresponding to 42 KByte/sec, through an ADSL link capable of roughly 400 KByte/sec. Then I stopped it. IMHO this should demonstrate that the problem is not only having a SVN workalike, but a fast and efficient one. -- rigo http://rigo.altervista.org --MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8--
