Hi!
Is there a cvsupd tutorial anywhere? I searched using AltaVista but did not
come up with anything useful.
I have a local CVS repository (from the WC FreeBSD 3.2R CDs) in /home/ncvs,
and now want to serve it to cvsup clients, but the only thing that gets
installed with /usr/ports/net/cvsupd-bin is the cvsupd executable and
cvsupd.8, the manpage.
I read the man page and tried to set it up, but I seem to lack even basic
knowledge about the whole process of running such a beast, so it doesn't
work.
I run the daemon (currently on a terminal to look for output) as follows:
cvsupd -l @daemon -e -c collections
The collections dir (/usr/local/etc/cvsup/collections) looks like this:
box:/usr/local/etc/cvsup/collections $ l
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 30 17:22 doc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 30 17:22 ports-all
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 30 17:22 src-all
Where each dir has a "list" and a "releases" file, e.g. for src-all:
box:/usr/local/etc/cvsup/collections $ cat src-all/list
upgrade pattern *
box:/usr/local/etc/cvsup/collections $ cat src-all/releases
cvs list=list prefix=/home/ncvs/src-all
With this setup running I get the following error on the client side, when I
run "cvsup -g -L 2 standard-supfile":
Parsing supfile "standard-supfile"
Looking up address of cvsup.visionaire.net
Connecting to cvsup.visionaire.net

On the server side of things the same connection is logged as follows:

Any help appreciated.
Please CC mails to me, as I currently can't send from the account I'm
subscribed with, so that I can reply from this one nevertheless.
