<p>You can (and are encouraged to) mirror the FreeBSD web pages
<tt>www.FreeBSD.org</tt>.
To do this, you need to obtain and install
a program called <em>cvsup</em> on your web server.
<a href="&url.doc.base;/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-INSTALL">CVSup</a> is a software package for
distributing and updating collections of files across a network.</p>
<h2>Installing CVSup</h2>
<p>You can build and install it from source by the following commands:</p>
<pre>
# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
# make all install clean
</pre>
<p>However, installing precompiled package from the FreeBSD
<a href="&url.doc.base;/books/handbook/packages-using.html">packages
collection</a> may be much easier.
Refer to the chapter mentioned for the details.</p>
<h2>Running CVSup</h2>
<p>If you keep your mirrored FreeBSD web pages in the directory
<tt>/usr/FreeBSD-mirror</tt> and are owned by the user `fred', then
run the following command as user `fred':</p>
<pre>
$ cvsup supfile-www
</pre>
The file <tt>supfile-www</tt> contain:
<pre>
*default host="cvsup".FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr/FreeBSD-mirror
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
www release="current" delete use-rel-suffix compress
</pre>
<p>This will mirror the FreeBSD web pages into
<tt>/usr/FreeBSD-mirror</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>
