Well, if you want to keep versions stable for years you might want to maintain an own portage tree and mount this via e.g. NFS on the clients. To reproduce those builds you just need also to save the versions of your build and do for p in $(cat mypackagelist); do emerge =$p; done However, you need to make sure that all source tarballs are avail for years, which might be a problem as well. Furthermore, newer versions of packages you _need_ to update (like your tzdata) will probably require newer dependencies as well... > thats why i wanted to use ubuntu lts - it's maintained with bug fixes > for five years and doesnt change versions ... but as all of you might > agree ... it's a no-go for other reasons ;) I really think keeping versions stable for years and backporting fixes is a lot of work and you need to make sure you have the resources to maintain an own portage tree and backports of important fixes.
