X-Archives-Salt: 2eb168fb-80a1-452e-ba30-b928a875450d X-Archives-Hash: 57723b2510d0cea461a29f8147f9f529 --z9ECzHErBrwFF8sy Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I want to setup a local binary Gentoo mirror so my machines doesn't need to compile the packages themself (get pre-compiled software) and also only get software that has been tested on the particular hardware (the 'client' machines are all the same hardware spec, except memory and cpu speed, so CFLAGS are not changed.. and my USE flags are also same across the machines. What I've figured out is: - I need to assign a machine to be a "auto-builder", just build everything I want/need as pre-compiled packages - I need a repository to store the packages - Need to setup some kind of mirror I can point the other machines to for their rsync mirror - Make sure that the machines only uses the local repository for packages, and always get the pre-compiled version of it Anyone have done some doc's to accomplish this? Where can I find those if they exist? Also, is it possible to tell emerge to use another root (/) when installing new packages, or is 'chroot' the only option? I am experimenting with Solaris live upgrade methology and want portage to update the cold partition. http://www.samag.com/documents/s=3D7789/sam0302j/0302j.htm has a description how Sun's Live upgrade works.
