Message-ID: X-Sysadmin-Nolife: True X-BOFH: Yes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I currently have 3 active FreeBSD machines on my network, and am looking for a method of automatically keeping my ports (and/or src) collections up-to-date. cron'ing a cvsup is definitely a possibility, but I'm wqondering if there are more graceful options available. Is there a way I could perhaps set up cvsupd to mirror one of the FreeBSD mirror sites on a regular basis, thus creating my own up-to-date collection? I'm looking for ways to keep the outside network traffic down, and cron'ing cvsup on three machines would definitely cause issues. Can I perhaps modify some of make.conf and set build directories to /tmp or something along those lines, then mirror /usr/ports across my machines (perhaps via nfs?). What are my options? Anyone want to beat me with a large stick? /gp -- .... .. . ... . . . . . g r e g @ s t r a y n e t . c o m .-----.----.-----.-----. senior administrator, straynet online | _ | _| -__| _ | network administrator, wen dot net |___ |__| |_____|___ | efnet irc operator, irc.fasti.net |_____| |_____| icq: 10405504 / aol im: xysters To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
