[HOWTO] Fetching current kernels with rsync and cvs

[Petri Koistinen]

Hi!

If you want to, you can also fetch current Linux kernels with rsync and
cvs using following script. Script will currently create $HOME/src/bkcvs,
$HOME/src/linux-2.4 and $HOME/src/linux-2.5 directories, which will hold
about 1100 megabytes of data. Run $HOME/bin/pull-kernels again later to
keep source trees up to date.

Best regards,
Petri Koistinen


mkdir -p $HOME/bin $HOME/src
cat >$HOME/bin/pull-kernels <<"EOF"
#!/bin/bash

HOST=rsync.kernel.org

rsync -avz --delete rsync://$HOST/pub/scm/linux/kernel/bkcvs $HOME/src
pushd $PWD >/dev/null
cd $HOME/src/bkcvs
for kernel_version in `ls -d linux*`
do
        echo $kernel_version
        [ -d $HOME/src/$kernel_version ] && (cd $HOME/src/$kernel_version && cvs update -dPA 2>/dev/null | grep -v '^?')
        [ -d $HOME/src/$kernel_version ] || (cd $HOME/src && cvs -d $HOME/src/bkcvs co $kernel_version)
done
popd >/dev/null
EOF
chmod +x $HOME/bin/pull-kernels
$HOME/bin/pull-kernels
