What would probably be easier would be to build packages on one of the machines (the fastest one usually :), then place them in a place where all the other machines can access them. Then on each of the machines set the PKG_PATH directory to where the packages are (so dependencies can be found), and then add all of the packages (in a foreach loop in a piece of shell script). Make sure all of the package dependencies are built too.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
