I have two FreeBSD-5.4-p2 machines, and instead of using cvsup on both machines to keep my ports up to date could I just rsync /usr/ports/ from the faster machine to the other one without any issues? I understand I could run a private cvsup server, but for two machines this seems a little excessive. Any suggestions or problems with this idea? Thanks for the advice, Anthony Philipp
