Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've inherited a fairly large number of FreeBSD servers. All of them are running 6.3. What is the recommended way of doing port management? Or if there isn't a recommended way of updating ports on 10-15 servers, what do people do? How do you handle port upgrades that deal with custom compile configurations (such as exim with postgresql)? Do you build a port on one system and install it as a package on all the others? I come from a Slackware background, and in the past I would compile the update on a test system then distribute and install to all the other servers. Thanks for your input! Derek
