You might see inconsistencies because someone is trying to install packages while you're in the middle of rsyncing an updated repository. However, the atomic package repository mechanism works by juggling symbolic links at the top of the /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages directory tree -- if you arrange things to rsync any subdirectories first, and then finally synch over the symbolic link bits, you should be golden. Although, just sticking a webserver onto your poudriere build box would likely be easier overall and less effort to maintain. Cheers, Matthew
