Most people would use cvsup(1) to do that -- for files kept under CVS control, it's actually more efficient than rsync(1), since it can transfer exactly the diff's between versions of a file. (In the case of non-text files that don't make very good diff's it actually uses precisely the rsync algorithm). See: http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html If you absolutely have to use rsync, then some of the FreeBSD mirrors do support rsync -- closest to you is ftp3.br.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ but the FreeBSD stuff is hidden several directories deep: % rsync rsync://ftp3.br.FreeBSD.org/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/ see also: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.h= tml http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-rsync= =2Ehtml If you want a local copy of the entire FreeBSD cvs repository, rather than just checked out copies of the ports and src trees, install the net/cvsup-mirror port. This will run an interactive script that lets you configure mirroring of the repository. Nb. you should get clearance from the upstream mirror that you copy the stuff from before setting this up. Also please consider if you really do need to have the full repository or not: you'll need it only if you're doing significant development work on FreeBSD itself, or if you will be acting as a mirror server providing sources for a reasonably large population of other FreeBSD users.
