I currently have 3 active FreeBSD machines on my network, and am looking
for a method of automatically keeping my ports (and/or src) collections
up-to-date. cron'ing a cvsup is definitely a possibility, but I'm
wqondering if there are more graceful options available. Is there a way I
could perhaps set up cvsupd to mirror one of the FreeBSD mirror sites on a
regular basis, thus creating my own up-to-date collection?
I'm looking for ways to keep the outside network traffic down, and
cron'ing cvsup on three machines would definitely cause issues. Can I
perhaps modify some of make.conf and set build directories to /tmp or
something along those lines, then mirror /usr/ports across my machines
(perhaps via nfs?). What are my options? Anyone want to beat me with a
large stick?
