As an experiment a cvsup server has been set up on
linux-xfs.sgi.com.
CVSup is a very fast file distribution system:
http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/
Linux binaries at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/binaries/
This is an alternative to cvs for keeping current with the latest
development
changes.
The main downside is normal cvs options are not available "cvs log",
"cvs diff"
etc etc, but the cvsweb interface should cover most of that any ways.
The basic config file looks like this.
gibble[1:36pm]-=>less supfile
*default host=linux-xfs.sgi.com
*default base=.
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default prefix=/tmp/cvsupit
linux-xfs
Change prefix to a dest dir of you liking
then run
cvsup supfile
hit the start button once the window pops up.
Note the cvs tree may also be keep current with this method
simple drop the "tag=." flag
e.g.
*default host=linux-xfs.sgi.com
*default base=.
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default prefix=/tmp/cvsupit
linux-xfs
Please let me know if you find this useful.
