Hi everyone, I have several FreeBSD boxes and I don't want to cvsup the ports collection on all of them, only one of them. I've created a symbolic link on the box that does not have a real /usr/ports directory to the ports directory on the box that actually has a /usr/ports directory (e.g., cd /usr ; ln -s portspc:/usr/ports /ports). Builds seem to go okay, but when it comes time to actually copying the compiled binaries it puts them on the wrong machine, that is on the machine with real /usr/ports directory. I'm sure there's got to be an easy work-around for this, would somebody please share it with me?
