Well, I don't have a farm of servers, but for my couple of machines at home, I have a single big machine that does the buildworld and then on the other machines I mount /usr/src => buildmach:/usr/src /usr/obj => buildmach:/usr/obj and on the client machine: cd /usr/src make installworld seems to work just fine. You'd also want to do a mergemaster on each machine or if you know things have changed, you could have a nice big rcp loop or rsync or something. > Secondly, is there any existing method for tracking significant changes, > for some value of significant?
