+ Procedure
+ By jdp@FreeBSD.org.
+
+
+ Make sure your country really needs another mirror.
+ If it already has three or more, ask
+ freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.org first.
+
+
+ Read the
+
+ FreeBSD CVSup Access Policy
+
+
+
+ Subscribe to freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org
+
+
+ Install CVSup using the net/cvsup port
+ or package. You may prefer to use the package, because it
+ eliminates the need to download and build the large PM3
+ ports. You can find the latest package
+ here.
+
+
+ Set up the required authentication by following these
+ instructions. Make sure you specify the server as
+ freefall.freebsd.org on the cvpasswd
+ command line.
+
+
+ Install the net/cvsup-mirror port. Specify
+ the master site as cvsup-master.freebsd.org
+ when it asks you.
+
+
+ Once you are sure your mirror site is working OK, ask the DNS
+ administrator of the xx.freebsd.org zone (where
+ "xx" is your country) to add a CNAME cvsupN.xx.freebsd.org
+ pointing to your mirror
+
+
+ Ask freebsd-doc@freebsd.org, or
+ freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org to add your mirror site to
+ the FreeBSD
+ Handbook. Make sure you tell them the email address
+ to list as the maintainer of the site
+
+
+ To get better performance and lower system loads during updates
+ from the master site, edit /etc/crontab and add
+ the option "-s" at the end of the command
+ /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh. Make sure your
+ mirror is working well before you do this.
