Those interested in building firmware on the local network, but want all the files to be updated through our specified server (or repository), then here's the process. It allows the code to be lock a specific firmware version, audit that version, compare it to other version, and save bandwidth on the network.


These are the scripts to support using a proxy to build OpenWRT.

OLD MANUAL CLONE INSTRUCTIONS:
To clone a Git repository into the mirror (we're assuming you're starting
by cloning https://github.com/sudomesh/openwrt-firmware.git and that your umask
is 022)
As the mirror user:
mkdir -p ~/public_html/mirror/https/github.com/sudomesh/openwrt-firmware.git
cd ~/public_html/mirror/https/github.com/sudomesh/openwrt-firmware.git
git --bare init
git --bare fetch https://github.com/sudomesh/openwrt-firmware.git master:master
git update-server-info
)
To clone a Subversion repo into the mirror, as the mirror user:
cd ~/public_html/mirror/svn/ (Create it if needed)
mkdir -p svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment
svnadmin create svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment
echo '#!/bin/sh' >svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment/hooks/pre-revprop-change
chmod 755 svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment/hooks/pre-revprop-change
svnsync init file://$PWD/svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment
svnsync sync file://$PWD/svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/attitude_adjustment
