2.3 Rsync Repositories

+ +

Rsync repositories are simple to serve and simple to use. In the repository +directory, there needs to be a ’.rsync’ file that points to the remote of the +repository. This is used in order to fetch changes from the upstream. ’.rsync’ +file looks like this for the core repository: +

+
+
rsync://carbslinux.org/repo/core
+
+ +

Rsync repositories have some few distinctions when it comes to fetching them. +They can be either synced individually or as a “root”. There are 2 important +files, those are .rsync and .rsync_root. Here is the Carbs Linux +rsync repository structure. +

+
+
           /
+   -----------------
+  |                |
+.rsync           core/
+          ----------------
+          |              |
+        .rsync      .rsync_root
+
+ +

Unlike git repositories, they don’t have a defined “root” directory. This is +both an advantage and a disadvantage. This way, we can sync individual +repositories, but that also means we need extra files to define root directories +and repository locations. Here is the content for each of these files: +

+
+
/.rsync:           rsync://carbslinux.org/repo
+/core/.rsync:      rsync://carbslinux.org/repo/core
+/core/.rsync_root: ..
+
+ +

The .rsync_root file on the core repository points to the upper directory. +If a .rsync file exists on the upper directory, this means that is the whole +repository and will sync the entire repository instead of each individual repository. +

+

If the upper directory doesn’t have this .rsync file, this means that this +is an individual repository, and the package manager will fetch accordingly. +
