Here are my quick instructions.

John

How to become a CVSup mirror site:

  * Make sure your country really needs another mirror.  If it already
    has 3 or more, ask jdp@freebsd.org first.

  * Read this: http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/cvsup-access/

  * Subscribe to freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org.

  * Install CVSup-16.1 using either (a) the "net/cvsup-bin" and
    "net/cvsupd-bin" ports (preferred), or (b) the "net/cvsup" port.

  * Follow these instructions: http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/cvpasswd/

    Make sure you specify the server as "freefall.freebsd.org" on
    the cvpasswd command line.

  * Install the "net/cvsup-mirror" port.  Specify the master site
    as "cvsup-master.freebsd.org" when it asks you.

  * Once you are sure your mirror site is working OK, ask the DNS
    administrator of the "xx.freebsd.org" zone (where "xx" is your
    country) to add a CNAME "cvsupN.xx.freebsd.org" pointing to your
    mirror.

  * Ask jdp@freebsd.org to add your mirror site to the FreeBSD
    Handbook.  Make sure you tell him the e-mail address to list as
    the maintainer of the site.

  * To get better performance and lower system loads during updates
    from the master site, edit "/etc/crontab" and add the option "-s"
    at the end of the command "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh".
    Make sure your mirror is working well before you do this.

That's all! :-)
