I'd be interested in this too; however it should be the rare case that you
would have to load poor freefall with simultaneous parallel updates.
If you're not tracking the CVS tree on all of your nodes (rather, a
specific tag like RELENG_2_2) you can use cvs over rsh, as in:
cvs -d user@cvshost.my.domain/mypath/FreeBSD-CVS [command]
(eg command: "update -d -P -rRELENG_2_2")
Where user has read/write priv to the cvs repository for locking purposes.
I use this on top of ssh via the CVS_RSH environment variable. Combined
with ssh compression, this works nicely over my 28.8 dialup.
If you need full CVS trees on all hosts, then in a LAN environment, rdist
is a possibility so long as you are not CVSuping at the same time.
(eg distfile)
HOSTS = ( client.my.domain )
FILES = ( /mypath/FreeBSD-CVS )
${FILES} -> ${HOSTS}
install -R ;
If you want to keep up CVS tree at the end of a 28.8 modem without
bothering freefall... then a CVSUP mirror kit would come in real handy :)
Right now I am using magtape ;) Let me tell you that sup looks like CVSup
when compared to RDIST over 28.8 after the tag-team comes through!
I think that it might not be brain salad surgery to do this anyways, but
it would be nice if John "the thanks I get for writing such a neat tool
:)" Polstra would put something out for the cvs challenged like I
[shameless hint].
