Using NFS is not an option since some of the servers are locked down as a = firewall. All of these systems of course have internet access so I was = thinking (which is dangerous) that maybe an additional option called = PORTHTTP_OVERLAY be added. This would in effect look to a web server for = custom ebuilds. My other option would be to write an rsync script to pull the files from = my own rsync server to a local PORTDIR_OVERLAY on each system. This is = also not a problem but it would be cooler to have the PORTHTTP_OVERLAY = feature. Brett -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
