Subject:   mirroring the mailing list archive with cvsup
Message-ID:  <19990810180017.A84782@gelatinous.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
hi, i want to cvsup the mailing list archive so i can build glimpse indexes
and all that good stuff (web gateway!). i was figuring out how to do this
via wget until i read

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/mailing-lists/README

unfortunately cvsup wants me to authenticate in order to get the archive...

    Parsing supfile "mail-supfile"
    Looking up address of freefall.freebsd.org
    Connecting to freefall.freebsd.org
    Connected to freefall.freebsd.org
    Server software version: REL_16_0
    Authentication required, but could not open "/home/aaron/.cvsup/auth"

anybody know why mail-archive is set up like this? this information is all
available via ftp...please let me know what i should do here.
