Assuming the stupid question is the one you didn't ask, just to clarify:
does this mean that c*sup won't work with these RCs in particular, or
that CVS is dead and SVN becomes mandatory from 9.1-RELEASE?

cheers, Ian


The latter.  If you are not using FreeBSD-Update to handle the updates
of a machine you'll need to update your source tree using SVN for
release branches (releng/*) from now on.  Updates of the CVS repository
will continue for the existing stable/* and head for now.  I don't think
anything has been decided on when that will stop.


Looking in the handbook ([1]) I do not see the mechanics of how to set
up a mirror, of which I have three CVS mirrors in different
infrastructures. Is there a web page somewhere on how to set up,
synchronize, maintain, and use a local mirror?

How about this one?

I have CVS mirrors. The topic is SVN.
