Description Wolfram Schneider freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2001-12-30 19:40:00 UTC
In the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html)
there is no section about obtaining FreeBSD with the rsync protocoll.

There are some site around the world which provide the FreeBSD CVS
tree or the full FTP site. For a list, try

$ rsync rsync://ftp.cz.freebsd.org
$ rsync rsync://grappa.unix-ag.uni-kl.de
$ rsync rsync://ftp-master.freebsd.org

Fix: 

Write a section about rsync. Add the rsync sites.

I sort of started this, but Peter hasn't gotten back to me yet on the 
rsync...

Otherwise i've been playing around with rsync, and should have something 
togeather soon, first I want to get the PPP chapter done, the NFS 
section done and the natd chapter updated.  After that, I should be 
pretty good ;)

See the attached patch and please comment.

Couple of questions:

- Do we want to get fancy with the description of the use of the rsync
  suite? It is primarily useful for mirror operators, all others had
  better use cvsup anyway...

- Do we want to include ftp-master into the list? Just like
  cvsup-master, this server is not for public consumption.
