When I make ports, I do a "make package" and that creates a tarball in /usr/ports/packages/All if you have the directory. I ftp everything in .../All to the other machines and simply pkg_add the_tarball from /usr/ports/packages/All. The other machines have to be running the same version of the ports. I use a local cvsup mirror and that isn't a problem. I cvsup ports-all on all of the ones I am going to upgrade. You have to keep the /usr/ports/INDEX* files current and I run "portsdb -uU" on one machine and ftp the INDEXs to the other machines. Ftp is much faster than letter portsdb rebuild them on the other systems. Kent > > >> From: "Jack L.
