<p>You can (and are encouraged to) mirror the FreeBSD web pages on
|
||||
<tt>www.freebsd.org</tt>. To do this, you need to obtain and install
|
||||
a program called <em>rsync</em> on your web server. Rsync is a revolutionary
|
||||
tree synchronising program written by Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras
|
||||
at the Australian National University. It was modified to work in an
|
||||
unprivileged client-server mode by Warren Toomey.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>Installing Rsync</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The source code to <em>rsync</em> can be obtained via anonymous ftp
|
||||
at <a href="ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/rsync/rsync_client.tar.gz">ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/rsync/rsync_client.tar.gz</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To build and install it, do the following:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
% tar vxzf rsync_client.tar.gz
|
||||
% cd rsync-1.6.2
|
||||
% ./configure
|
||||
% make; make install
|
||||
% rehash (for csh users)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>Running Rsync</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you keep your mirrored FreeBSD web pages in the directory
|
||||
<tt>/usr/FreeBSD-mirror/data</tt> and are owned by the user `fred', then
|
||||
run the following command as user `fred':</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
% rsync --client -avz www.freebsd.org:www /usr/FreeBSD-mirror/data
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This will mirror the FreeBSD web pages into <tt>/usr/FreeBSD-mirror/data</tt>.
|
||||
You can install this into fred's crontab, so that it runs once a
|
||||
day. The pages on www.freebsd.org are updated daily at about 4:30am
|
||||
California time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>Optimizing Rsync's Performance</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are several gzipped tar files kept in the web hierachy at
|
||||
<tt>www.freebsd.org</tt>. Rsync doesn't deal with these very well; it
|
||||
must transmit each tar file if it is changed. Because these files can
|
||||
easily be created locally, you can get <em>rsync</em> to exclude
|
||||
them. To do this, run the following command as user `fred':</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
% rsync --client -avz --exclude '*.tar.gz' www.freebsd.org:www /usr/FreeBSD-mirror/data
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You should see a dramatic improvement in <em>rsync</em>'s
|
||||
performance. (A better mechanism for dealing with the tar files needs
|
||||
to be established.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>More Information on Rsync</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now that you can use <em>rsync</em>, I'd suggest you read the
|
||||
following files:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>README
|
||||
<li>The rsync man page, rsync.1
|
||||
<li>tech_report.ps
|
||||
<li>Readme.daemon
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have any questions about <em>rsync</em>, please pass them on to the
|
||||
authors, or join the rsync mailing list (both described in the
|
||||
README).</p>
