Rsync(1) will still work for mirroring, but it is not recommended and documented anymore.

|
<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/cvsup.html">CVSup</a> is a software package for
|
|
distributing and updating collections of files across a network.
|
|
|
|
<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>
