<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="../handbook/synching.html#CVSUP">CVSup</a> is a software package for
distributing and updating collections of files across a network.</p>
<H2>Installing CVSup</H2>
<p>To build and install it, do the following:</p>
<pre>
# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin
# make all install clean
</pre>
<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>
<H2>More Information on CVSup</H2>
See the <a href="../handbook/synching.html#CVSUP">CVSup introduction</a> in the
handbook.
