Jon -----Original Message----- From: Steve Coles [mailto:scoles@tripos.com] Sent: 09 November 2000 11:45 To: Jon Paterson Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: keeping stable without cvs type tools. Jon, I ftp ctm deltas using "wget" on my NT work machine without (ab)using the corporate network, Get a a base delta something like this wget --passive-ftp --tries=10 --timeout=600 -nd -m ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/cvs-cur/cvs-cur.6000xEmpty.gz Then I just use the NT scheduler with something like: wget --passive-ftp --tries=10 --timeout=600 -nd -m ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/cvs-cur/cvs-cur.[6-9]???.gz The only problem is the initial empty delta, which the firewall insists on virus-checking and because of it's size - the file transfer never gets through. I, personally, would be interested if there was a way to split the base delta into chunks, akin to the way in ftp that you can tar up whole directories. Sorry to the list if this is OT / wrong OS.
