Here are the instructions I send to people:
How to become a CVSup mirror site:
* Make sure your country really needs another mirror. If it already
has 3 or more, ask jdp@freebsd.org first.
* Read this: http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/cvsup-access/
* Subscribe to freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org.
* Install CVSup-16.1 using either (a) the "net/cvsup-bin" and
"net/cvsupd-bin" ports (preferred), or (b) the "net/cvsup" port.
* Follow these instructions: http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/cvpasswd/
Make sure you specify the server as "freefall.freebsd.org" on
the cvpasswd command line.
* Install the "net/cvsup-mirror" port. Specify the master site
as "cvsup-master.freebsd.org" when it asks you.
* Once you are sure your mirror site is working OK, ask the DNS
administrator of the "xx.freebsd.org" zone (where "xx" is your
country) to add a CNAME "cvsupN.xx.freebsd.org" pointing to your
mirror.
* Ask jdp@freebsd.org to add your mirror site to the FreeBSD
Handbook. Make sure you tell him the e-mail address to list as
the maintainer of the site.
* To get better performance and lower system loads during updates
from the master site, edit "/etc/crontab" and add the option "-s"
at the end of the command "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh".
Make sure your mirror is working well before you do this.
That's all! :-)
