Local rdist script

Usage

dist_local [package [.fileset]] ...

Overview

The purpose of dist_local is to update files on the local node from the /var/dist rdist repository. It simply executes dist2 -l on the local node. dist2 in turn runs rdist against files located in the NFS-mounted rdist repository, /var/dist.

All arguments are passed on to dist2. Typically these include the names of packages/filesets to be updated. Packages are groups of files managed by a single Distfile in /var/dist, and filesets are labels within Distfiles. If no packages are specified, everything in /var/dist updated.
