Hello group

I need to build a local cvsup server (not unfortunately a public access one
as I just havent the bandwidth). Can someone point me in the general
direction of a how-to for this? I need to track 4.2-STABLE, and the latest
ports and docs. Thx.??

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror
make install

It will guide you through the installation.

But I think your have a slight misconception about tracking the STABLE
branch. You will be able to track STABLE but versions do advance. In
a few weeks it will be 4.3-STABLE. (Currently it is 4.3-RC followed
by 4.3-RELEASE)

thanks for your input Helmut. I wonder, if I do run a mirror, how much space
it would use, and if I downnload the cvsups for 4.2, how the versions will
progress?
