Public Mailing List served by allbsd.org

http://mailserv.allbsd.org/ serves several mailing lists concerning open source software use and development.

Public FTP/HTTP service

FTP Mirrors

ftp.allbsd.org provides the distributions of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly, TenDRA, and CVSync. pub.allbsd.org provides the same sets available from ftp.allbsd.org via HTTP.

CVSWeb

cvsweb.allbsd.org provides web interface to browse the CVS repositories.

Public Anonymous CVS service

anoncvs.allbsd.org provides read-only anonymous CVS access of the following repositories: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFly BSD. The server uses SSH2 password authentication on port 2022 (not pserver and rsh).

How To Use

anoncvs.allbsd.org supports OpenSSH version 3.5 or later only. For the other OpenSSH versions and/or other SSH implementations, this may or may not work. The following instruction assumes you use OpenSSH.

Put the following lines into your ${HOME}/.ssh/config.

Host                    anoncvs.allbsd.org
Port                    2022
Protocol                2

After that, you can access to anoncvs.allbsd.org. Set ${CVSROOT} and ${CVS_RSH} like this:

# For all
CVS_RSH=ssh

# For FreeBSD
CVSROOT=anoncvs-freebsd@anoncvs.allbsd.org:/home/ncvs

# For NetBSD
CVSROOT=anoncvs-netbsd@anoncvs.allbsd.org:/cvsroot

# For OpenBSD
CVSROOT=anoncvs-openbsd@anoncvs.allbsd.org:/cvs

# For DragonFly BSD
CVSROOT=anoncvs-dfly@anoncvs.allbsd.org:/dcvs

The access uses OpenSSH password authentication. However, since the password on anoncvs.allbsd.org is empty string, you do not need to enter the password. If you are in trouble, please contact admin@allbsd.org.

Public rsync service

rsync.allbsd.org provides the distribution and source trees of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenDarwin, XFree86, TenDRA, CVSync, and so on. Available collections and their upstreams are found by using "finger @info.allbsd.org" or "rsync rsync://rsync.allbsd.org/".

Public cvsync service

cvsync (local mirror) is another CVS repository synchronization utility by MAEKAWA Masahide (maekawa AT cvsync DOT org), which is very similar to CVSup but not compatible with it, and written in C and pthreads (POSIX 1003.1c-1995, aka ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996) library. Although it is still at experimental stage, it has reasonable portability, better performance, and IPv6 capability.

Other public cvsync mirrors are listed here.

cvsync.allbsd.org provides the distribution and source trees of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenDarwin, XFree86, TenDRA, and CVSync itself via cvsync. Available collections can be retrieved using cvsync cvsync://cvsync.allbsd.org/ command. The respective upstream servers are the same as rsync.allbsd.org.

Public CVSup service (IPv4 only)

cvsup.allbsd.org provides the source trees of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenDarwin, and XFree86.

FreeBSD

Available collections are the same as described in http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html. The upstream server is cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org, and the contents are updated every 30 minutes.

NetBSD

Available collections are as follows:

The upstream server is cvsup.jp.NetBSD.org, and the contents are updated every 7 hours.

OpenBSD

Available collections are as follows:

The upstream server is cvsup.jp.OpenBSD.org, and the contents are updated every 2 hours.

DragonFly BSD

Available collections are as follows:

The upstream server is cvsup.dragonflybsd.org, and the contents are updated every 12 hours. Note that the official (upstream) server used the collection name like cvs-src before January 2005, but it now uses a name like dragonfly-cvs-src (see this mail for details). Although allbsd.org uses the dragonfly-cvs-* names from the first stage to avoid the name conflict and you do not need to change your supfile, you may want to keep in mind this transition.

For more information, see official page.

OpenDarwin

Available collections are as follows:

The upstream server is rsync.OpenDarwin.org, and the contents are updated every 7 hours.

XFree86

Available collections are the same as described in http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/#cvsup. The upstream server is anoncvs.XFree86.org, and the contents are updated every 6 hours.

NOTICE: Although XFree86 CVS repository distributed in allbsd.org via CVSup is the same as anoncvs.XFree86.org, it may be possibly different because we do not use the official CVSup collection file used in anoncvs.XFree86.org. We have tried to contact mirroradmin@xfree86.org about the official configuration repeatedly, but we have no reply at all. So, allbsd.org uses its own configuration referring to collections described in http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/#cvsup. While it should provide the same functionality, we appreciate to let us know about the mistakes or errors if you are in trouble.

CVSync

Available collections are as follows:

The upstream server is www.cvsync.org, and the contents are updated every 1 hour.

Shell account service

allbsd.org provides shell accounts to developers who are interested in open source software development but have no access to *BSD. FreeBSD/{i386,sparc64} 5-STABLE, FreeBSD/i386 4-STABLE, NetBSD/{i386,sparc64} 2.0, and OpenBSD/{alpha,sparc,sparc64} 3.7 are now available. And NetBSD/{sparc, macppc} will be available soon.

To prevent abuse of the service, the detail information is restricted. If you are interested, please let us (admin@allbsd.org) know. Basically, it requires that you can make your purpose to employ the service clear, or have an recommender who already has an account of the service. Thank you.
