Hi.
I'm administering several servers and routers (~10 FreeBSD boxes).
The most powerful PC of them is a build server, i.e. I run make buildworld on
it.
Then I'd prefer just to run "make DESTDIR=/net/${HOST} installworld",
assuming all other hosts export their /,/usr,/var to the build server.
Besides the simplicity, it is also very secure scheme, as most hosts have no
access to the build server themselves.
All works fine (conceptually), but there are troubles with chflags [no]schg,
which don't work over NFS. I have to run some scripts before and after
the installworld, and they are not very reliable, because I cannot test files
for the immutable flags, only can change them. So, I once parsed the whole
distribution searching "schg" and "PRECIOUSLIB" and made a list of such files.
I in no way propose to implement schg working over NFS :-)
Maybe we can have some variable for make to disable chflags, and a list
(automatically generated?) of the immutable flags?
Your opinions?
Best regards,
