Howdy folks, I currently export /usr/ports to a range of servers, all i386 arch. I'm adding a sparch64 box to the mix, and I'd like to reuse the export (especially for distfiles). I'm looking for words of wisdom on how best to accomplish this and notes about pitfalls to avoid. Obviously the packages directory is going to a minor issue. I don't plan on building sparc64 packages as there is only the only box, but I use packages extensively for i386 to save compile time and ease distribution (portupgrade -P rocks). I /think/ I can avoid this issue by simplu never using -p/-P on the sparc. Anything else that I might be missing? -T -- The problem of leadership is inevitably: Who will play God? - Muad'Dib, from the Oral History
