Instead of synchronizing from scratch, start with the most recent seed file (repository archive) available on your nearest FTP mirror. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/ Clues for building a mirror can be found here: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/subversion-primer.html#AEN1201>; ...but if you're only using it for testing - and it doesn't need to be up to date - then you don't need to worry about setting up svnsync and updating your local mirror. Simply unbundling an archive of a repository from a seed file and serving it via svnserve (and/or apache) is all you need to do. -- John Marshall [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlEB6/gACgkQw/tAaKKahKJR1QCgkHq0ONGObI4bdSlvGWqr2Omk lC0AniE9Bl3sy7MGVLhgTiSFBV4u28d+ =CJyN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
