So far cvsup hasn't been removed since we supply supfiles for other
BSD's and (IMO) it's still the easiest and fastest solution to obtain
all other BSD's repositories without having to install svn or use rather
slow anoncvs. Just works and doesn't harm anyone.

My personal opinion is that we should continue supporting this and
continue supplying the cvsup binary on the LiveCD since it can't be
compiled from source afaik (due to Modula-3 issues). Matt agreed to this
last time I spoke to him about it in IRC. I know others are not of this
opinion, though (although without providing any good reasons except
"cvsup sucks!" or similar :).

However, if the consensus is that we do not want to keep the cvsup
binary, please also remove the supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup as
well, since they are no longer usable without the binary.

Regards,
Sascha

You can use net/csup instead. It's in C with no extra crap.

Does it allow me fetching of the whole repo or checking out the tree only?

whoops.. just RTFM'ed .. I think the FBSD handbook is out of date w/r/t
csup.1 .. and supposedly it does both.. haven't actually tried repo
mirroring though.. see CVS MODE in the manual page.. didn't know about this

Even if we rip the cvsup package from our LiveCD, it doesn't mean
users are no longer able to download cvsup-bootstrap-YYYYMMDD.tgz from
DragonFly website, right? I can't think of a situation where you can
checkout the source trees or retrieve the CVS repositories BUT not
the cvsup binary.

Yes of course they still are...

I would have never imagined that there could be so much contention about
a harmless 850k program. :)

But OK, if it really offends so much, I give up my resistance. Remove it
if you must.

Actually at the time I posted the first message, we didn't have git snapshot
of pkgsrc tree, so one might have wanted cvsup or csup to retrieve/update
pkgsrc tree. For people who don't want to keep growing git repository on
their disk drive, cvsup or csup might be still handy.

I would have never imagined that there could be so much contention
about a harmless 850k program. :)

For that matter, pkgsrc/net/csup, which is 250K in size, is more harmless
in that it won't install files in an odd location now that we're accustomed
to use pkgsrc (I forgot removing the part populating /usr/local in the
previous patch, BTW), yet it does almost the same job as cvsup program
(last time I checked, the expansion of some less popular keywords, $Log for
one, didn't work correctly).

I can redo the patch to replace it with net/csup or to add WITHOUT_CVSUP
knob.

I will look into moving the remaining installer stuff out of /usr/local.

Last time I looked, csup (the one from pkgsrc at least) supported only
checkout mode, but not CVS mode (contrary to what someone wrote in this
thread).

Right, maybe he and I were looking at FreeBSD manpage. CVSmode support
has been added to FreeBSD repository in r186781 and r186871 this year,
whereas NetBSD pkgsrc is still using the snapshot taken at Feburary, 2007.

Hello.

This has completely slipped my mind, but here's an updated version:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/~y0netan1/dragonfly.git/commit/911bb15d8c191e1b513881d0f6aa9be54911549c

It replaces cvsup with pkgsrc/net/csup, removes unused `fetch' target,
and stop populating /usr/local. Although we have a git-snapshot of
pkgsrc tree, having CVSup client in the installer may benefit a user
who don't want the extra 80M or so bytes for its git repository.
And it runs on x86_64, too. For people who do want to download CVS
repositories, well, they can use devel/cvsync, which is available in
the pkgsrc collection.

Oh by the way, we still have the following entry in UPDATING file:

Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD

Do we still support this upgrading path in the first place? If not,
I'll simply drop this entry. If we do, we need to update it. Currently
it explains how to download the CVS repository of DragonFly source tree
and checkout from it locally, but as far as I know we've never published
a CVS-mirror of our git repository, so mayb s/he finds a mirror of very
old CVS repository and surprise.
