The repo has not changed but I've found a simpler set of instructions
for checking out and managing it. I did split a few steps to make
them more obvious. I am avoiding the use of git-clone because it hides
too much of what goes on under the hood.
Of course, for users who don't want to understand what is going on under
the hood, and only intend to update their sources, the best way of doing
so is:
cd /usr && make git-clone
and later
cd /usr && make git-update
# Create your new source dir
#
mkdir -p /usr/src
cd /usr/src
git init
git remote add chlamydia git://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/dragonfly.git
git remote add crater git://crater.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git
I do not really advise doing the git init game. Just do a
cd /usr
git clone git://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/dragonfly.git src
Also, if you want to avoid stalls due to low bandwidth from crater, simply
stick to another mirror. They all update every minute, so there is really
nothing to lose.
