One machine is an NFS server with all of the sources, including ports. I export /usr/ports to the other machines due to disk space reasons. For speed, I usually build the port on the server machine, then install it on the client via an NFS mount. All machines running -current. The problem: Tonight I accidently did a "make install" on the server machine for a very large port (e.g. it depended on a LOT of other ports). Not a big deal for the server, since it has the disk space for it. However, when I went to the client I REALLY wanted to install the port on, it wouldn't install because the ".install_done" had been created in the "work" directory for that port. So I figured I would try "make reinstall" from the client, which wound up re-compiling and then installing a bunch of stuff, even though the programs had already been installed on the client. My question: Is there a way around this, or am I doing something that the ports system was not designed for? My proposal: How about instead of a generic .install_done file, create a .install_done. file, where = the name of the host that actually did the install. Just a thought...I'm a little too tired right now to think straight, so maybe there is a better answer to my question. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
