No, you aren't doing anything wrong as far as I know. The 90 second cvsup run was when nothing was going on. Cvsup7 is 8 hops away but is located where almost all of the t1's connect in Washington State. FWIW, I don't do ports and docs at the same time. Those are pretty much independant products and a cvsup of just the source takes long enough. When the cvsup server I use was loaded, a cvsup of src-all required around 20 minutes. I figure that is the spread. A typical cvsup of source requires around 4-5 minutes for me. There have been times when a RELENG_4 src-all via 768Kbs a DSL connection required just as long as it did when I was using my 56kb modem. When it is the disk, the connection speed doesn't matter much. > Local box is a K6-2 450 acting merely as NAT gateway (and development box, > of course, but during cvsup, make world doesn't make much sense ;-). I can't imagine doing a build while you are cvsuping. That would be a good way to get a mixture of code that doesn't work. I finally built everything on my firewall and NAT gateway today. That is the last thing that gets updated. It was being cvsup'ed while my user system was doing a buildworld. I have two user systems and they go first. I may cvsup them all really close together but they are built one at a time. The server is only touched when everything else works. Everything seems to be running just fine. If there is something wrong, I haven't noticed it.
