I have several machines with distfiles (usr/ports/distfiles). On my laptop i 
am currently installing Gnome, on the NATServer i am installing 
something else, and so on.

Now I would like to synchronize the distfiles between all computers, but I 
think this is not very easy.

Computer 1 is downloading something into the distfiles, computer 2 
wants to synchronize and gets the half file. computer 1 wants to sync 
and maybe the half file is written back to computer 1 from comuter 2 
because of the filedate.

Does anyone has a good idea how to synchronize the distfiles between 
several computers? its possible that one of these machines is currently 
downloading a port into distfiles.

I am familar with cvsup, rsh, rsync, whatever, but I have no idea for a 
concept.

Any ideas?

Bo
