It saves a ton of time to ftp the pkgsrc bz2
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/pkgsrc-2007Q2/pkgsrc-2007Q2.tar.bz2
then extract and do a cvs update on a new machine,
verses doing an initial cvs checkout.

Can a cron be setup to generate archives of netbsd source
tags to accelerate src checkout? Maybe it would reduce load
and bandwidth of the netbsd cvs servers, too?

 Thanks, that will be a big help.

 I'm scripting out a process to bring a host up to a
 local standard which includes pkgsrc and src trees.
 With ${pick_date} there are some hoops to figure out
 the url.

 ./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200708100002Z/source/sets/src.tgz

 I wonder if there is any reason not to symlink
 ./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/${pick_date} to
 ./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/netbsd-3 every time a
 new ${pick_date} comes out? Then we have a fixed url
 for whatever most current snapshot of the tag is
 available.

 Yeah, that puts the tag in the url twice, maybe the
 symlink could be called "snapshot"?

State-Changed-By: dholland@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:24:39 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
Conclusion of releng is that because each port builds (and potentially fails)
independently, a single link wouldn't be adequate. There's a plan to put up
a build status thing on the releng web page to allow easily finding the last
successful build for each port, but AFAIK it isn't deployed yet.
