honor of the occasion I have bumped the version number to 1.1. The port now depends upon the cvsup-bin and cvsupd-bin ports rather than on the more trouble-prone cvsup port. The CVSup server is run with "-C 100" (max. 100 clients at a time) and the true limit is set in the "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/cvsupd.access" file. This is nice because you can change the limit by editing the file; you don't have to restart the server. The cvsupd.access file also contains a rule to limit each individual host to one connection at a time. The CVSup client is now run under its own unprivileged user ID instead of root. This is a security enhancement. It makes it impossible for a compromised master site to install files into places outside the mirror area of the filesystem. The permissions of various other files such as /usr/local/etc/cvsup have also been strengthened to enhance security. Both client and server now cd to /var/tmp to run, so that if they decide to croak they'll be able to write the core file. :-) The /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cvsupd.sh script now honors the "start" and "stop" arguments. The configure script no longer attempts to tell you the sizes of the various collections. That's impossible to maintain. When I have time I plan to make a web page where one can obtain that information from an automatically-updated source. Then I will reference the URL in the configure script. It is possible to upgrade an existing cvsup-mirror-1.0 installation to this new version, but it is tricky because of the change in ownership of the mirrored files. I will post instructions to the freebsd-hubs mailing list after I make sure I have the procedure just right. |
