In the interest of providing empirical data, since this thread is being archived and someone might see the above and come to the conclusion that 6 GB of space is required for a full mirror of the CVS repository, I offer: freebeast(4.7-S)[1] cd /cvs freebeast(4.7-S)[2] du -ks . 1649982 . freebeast(4.7-S)[3] cd /usr/src freebeast(4.7-S)[4] !2 du -ks . 321999 . freebeast(4.7-S)[5] That's a little over 1.6 GB for the CVS repo itself, plus <350 MB for the /usr/src working directory. (I do have a little bit of extra stuff in the CVS repository for local things, but it isn't significant, and certainly doesn't change the point, which is that about 2 GB appears to be adequate at this time.) >.... >[1] When the system is an aging dual PPro or 200MHz Alpha using > SCSI, buying new drives is not practical. Given the price of hardware, it might be worth considering cobbling up a separate box for the purpose. You may have done this, and decided that it's not worth the cost, or is otherwise inappropriate or ineffective. That's fine: it's your problem and your resources, so how you choose to allocate them is (and should be) your decision. But any solution will cost some resources. For me, keeping a local mirror of the CVS repository works well enough that I'm rather surprised that it isn't done by more folks.
