CVSup
To retrieve or update the source code for OpenBSD or its ports collection
you can use CVSup. It's more efficient than using cvs.
- Install CVSup:
pkg_add cvsup-16.1g-no_x11.tgz
The "no_x11" means that the cvsup program will be text-only.
That's fine.
- Create a directory where CVSup's configuration files and its bookkeeping data
directory will be placed:
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/cvsup
- Create
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile. This file will
be used to tell CVSup to download all OpenBSD source code for the
stable release branch you're interested in, except for
the x11, xf4 (both XFree86 related), www files and ports. In other words:
everything that is needed in order to rebuild OpenBSD from source (located
in /usr/src. We're
not interested in XFree86 for a server system, so we will skip it.
Working example stable-supfile:
*default host=cvsup.ca.openbsd.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=OPENBSD_3_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
#OpenBSD-all
OpenBSD-src
#OpenBSD-www
#OpenBSD-ports
#OpenBSD-x11
#OpenBSD-xf4
- Create
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile. This file will
be used to tell CVSup to download the complete OpenBSD ports collection
for the stable release branch you're interested in, except for
the x11, xf4 (both XFree86 related), www files and OpenBSD source code. In other words:
everything that is needed in order to use the ports system (located in /usr/ports).
Working example ports-supfile:
*default host=cvsup.ca.openbsd.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=OPENBSD_3_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
#OpenBSD-all
#OpenBSD-src
#OpenBSD-www
OpenBSD-ports
#OpenBSD-x11
#OpenBSD-xf4
- You probably want to change the "default host" in
stable-supfile
and ports-supfile to some CVSup server
nearest to you. Check out this list of CVSup servers
to search for one.
- For checking out releases newer than OpenBSD 3.4 you must edit the "tag"
in
stable-supfile to reflect the version you're interested in. For updates
to the ports collection for OpenBSD 3.4 you must do the same. In order to allways download
the latest ports, you must set the "tag" to a single dot (.).
