Revision as of 01:14, 4 January 2005
This is incomplete. I'm getting this error message:
Release not specified for collection "default".
defaults section
should look something like this:
*default host=cvsup000.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/home/ncvs *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix
with a proper cvsup# server of course. You may need to mkdir a /home/ncvs if you do not already have one.
-d.
defaults section
Dave's conf above is a bit nonstandard - normally the ports tree lives under /usr in /usr/ports; whereas his will wind up in /home/ncvs/ports, which will confuse the hell out of mose FreeBSD admins (and generate a second unneeded copy of the ports tree if you installed it when you first built the system, in which case you've already got one at /usr/ports).
This is a working configuration (which is not to say that his isn't, except I don't think there's actually a "cvs000" server):
# Defaults that apply to all the collections # # IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites # listed at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html. *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix # If you seem to be limited by CPU rather than network or disk bandwidth, try # commenting out the following line. (Normally, today's CPUs are fast enough # that you want to run compression.) *default compress ## Ports Collection. # # The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "ports-*" # collections, ports-all
Note that cvsup.freebsd.org IS a valid cvsup server, as are cvsup1 through something like cvsup19 or so (?) - be careful with those, though, as quite a few of them are from way across the pond and slower than molasses. --Jimbo 01:14, 4 Jan 2005 (EST)
