The closest thing there is to that is the CGI interface to the CVS repository at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/#dirlist That's not really feasible for downloading quantities of source code. Instead, use cvsup to pull the appropriate sources out of one of the many copies of the FreeBSd CVS repository. Here's how to use cvsup: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html which has a list of hand cvsup mirror sites. Unfortunately there seems to be no FreeBSD cvsup mirror in India but I'm sure you can find one relatively near by in network terms. To obtain the sources for 4.3-RELEASE, use a supfile like this: *default host=cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_3_0_RELEASE *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all This is based on the 'stable-supfile' in /usr/share/examples/cvsup --- you may find some interest in the other supfiles in there.
