I have several machines installed in my temporary location and only my laptop gets the internet through wireless. So far I've been building ports on the other machines by rsync'ing the distfiles from the laptop as I need them (all machines have the same FreeBSD 8.2 installed). The problem comes after I did a 'portupgrade -a' on the laptop. To ensure the other ports trees are in sync, can I rsync the /usr/ports directory to the other machines? Since some of them are different architectures (amd64 multicore for instance) I ran into situations where the distfiles are different (for gcc for example). If not rsync, what is the best way to keep multiple ports trees on different hardware in sync, assuming everything runs FreeBSD 8.2? regards, Peter Kryszkiewicz
