I have four servers. None are exactly the same. The only thing they have in common is that they use a Pentium CPU. Three (A B C) are production servers with lots of real user accounts and data. The forth is my test and configuration management (CM) system. Currently what I do is run cvsup from the CM machine, then push out the updates with rsync. Each system has its own ports collection. Each port is built on the machine it will run on. I thought it would be simpler if I use NFS to mount the ports collection on each of the production systems, maintaining just one copy on the CM machine. Then I would build each port on the machine it will run on. My concern is for how a build on server A will affect a build on server B. Will a "make clean" be enough? I have heard that there are tools for managing the ports collection. Are there any that would make my life easier? BTW, I am in Hawaii, and it's a beautiful, sunny day, temp around 80F. I guess it's pretty cold today for most of you. -- _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ Gary Dunn _/ _/ Open Slate Project _/ _/ http://openslate.sourceforge.net/ _/ _/ http://www.aloha.com/~knowtree/ _/ _/ Honolulu _/ _/ registered Linux user #273809 _/ _/ _/ _/ This tagline is umop apisdn. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
