Everyone, hello again.
Sorry for delay, I was really busy last 3 months, so I haven't a time to do any blog's activity. But now I have a time and will continue configuration posts. Lets continue post installation configuration.
I plan to perform all installations via ports and this is mean that I will download everything from Internet. Lets increase the download speed and decrease the load on general FreeBSD.org servers. Create file /etc/make.conf and add into it:
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?= \
ftp://ftp8.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp7.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp6.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp5.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp4.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp3.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp2.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR} \
ftp://ftp.ua.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
Now, make will check Ukrainian servers first for distributives.
I want to thank these guys for this information.
The next step is to make ports versions actual. Cvsup will help to do it. I will not use it within X-system.
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
make
make install
I have to configure it to work with Ukrainian cvsup servers and specify what exactly I want to update. I will use supfile from template:
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile /usr/local/etc/
I want to start this utility via cron, so I don't need graphic interface to it. The command to run update is:
cvsup -g -L 2 <path_to_supfile>
My configuration:
/usr/local/etc/cvs-supfile
*default host=cvsup5.ua.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
You can use cvsup for src update too, but I don't plane re-build the world this time and will not update something except the ports.
Check handbook for additional information.
Well, now my ports are updated, this process scheduled on a daily basis and I can start X-system installation.
Best regards!
