Hello, I've got a network running different versions of FreeBSD (6.3, 7.0) on different architectures (i386, SPARC64). What I'd like to do is export the ports hierarchy to all machines, but preserving ports/packages for each version/architecture. I also want to make rebuilding indexes run as fast as possible. Right now, I simply exports(5) /usr/ports via NFSv3. The problem comes in with INDEX files and packages. Indexes get updated only when the host serving the export updates the hierarchy via portsnap update. If I create a package on SPARC64 and the package exists already for an i386 build, then I've got an issue. Can someone point me to a doc/google/man page that may give me some guidance in setting up such an environment? -- Regards, Doug
