I'm behind a firewall that only allows mail, HTTP and FTP.
I'm running -CURRENT so I get ctm-src-cur via email... not a
problem.
However I now have some machines that I want to maintain at
-STABLE along with a couple of -CURRENT machines.
So I'd like to set up a CVSup server within the firewall.
What I have done is:
- subscribed to ctm-cvs-cur fine (I'm getting the deltas).
- populated my CVS tree at /home/ncvs from the deltas
Now I need to know how I can checkout -CURRENT or -STABLE from
this tree.
What I think I know:
- I think I dont need a CVSup server if I want to populate /usr/src
on the machine that has the CVS tree.
What I have tried:
setenv CVSROOT /home/ncvs
cd /usr/src # /usr/src contains -CURRENT tree from ctm-src-cur
# delta src-cur.4200xEmpty.gz
make update
This last command does nothing!
Can someone tell me:
- How to checkout a -CURRENT or -STABLE tree from my CVS repositry
Eventually I want to do the above for other machines so I imagine
I will have to run a CVSup server.
I have built and installed the CVSup server but I'm not sure what
I should make it serve ?
Should it serve /home/ncvs ??
Or do I have to checkout -CURRENT and -STABLE on the server and
serve them up somehow.
I dont know anything about CVS!
