I have started to do that. My impression is that I can create another /usr/local/etc/cvsup/config.sh, and more or less duplicate what's there. But, I was hoping to get some idea about the settings to use: oLooks to me like the following will need to chage: host="cvsup14.us.freebsd.org" distribs="distrib.self .. . FreeBSD.cvs /home/ncvs . FreeBSD-www.current SKIP . FreeBSD-gnats.current SKIP gnats FreeBSD-mail.current SKIP ." would cvsup-openbsd.leo.org be appropriate for the host? Or, like FreeBSD should I use a mirror? What distributions are avaialble? Ine other thing I have not figured out is how the local directory to store things in is configured. The port puts FreeBSD's in /home/nvcs. I'm thinking that I need a seperate place, in case the distribution names overlap. -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
