Hi to all. A lot of new FreeBSD systems have appeared in my server farm since I starte= d studying to where I could migrate from some MSFT-*sigh*-death technologie= s=2C almost two years ago. Today the time and the bandwidth required to upd= ate all FreeBSD servers (I use the source-based method) have grown so much = that it make me feel guilty to waste the FreeBSD Project's donated resource= s! :[ Thus=2C I looked for any documentation about setup a FreeBSD builder machin= e which will track sources and build binaries for all the hardware platform= and OS releases I need to support in my network. I have found some interes= ting articles (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2006/04/13/freebsd-build-sys= tem.html - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-= lan.html)=2C but nothing which actually addresses my needs. So I started to= script an as-simple-as-possible solution using net/cvsup-mirror from the P= orts=2C csup(1) to check out the sources and net/unfs3 to export "src" and = "obj" directories for all architectures and release tags. Before spending even more time on this self-made tool=2C I am asking if any= one knows some docs or scripts which are just working=2C because I am not a= script master and I do not want to "reinvent the wheel" to do this job! :) TIA Andrew _________________________________________________________________ Show them the way!
