I suspect you meant to say "portage is more advanced than I think you
realise" ;).
Anyway, Ashish:
from your description it seems to me that you are thinking about rolling a
well defined identical and tested installation on a bunch of PC's at some
place. Is this right? There is no need for inventing anything for this
purpose. Portage will handle the situation as it is already. The things you
should look into if you want more controll over your large-scale installation
are:
1. look into supporting a local portage tree and sync all local nodes against
it
2. Have a testing rig where you install all updates first. Do so with
--buildpkg option to roll pre-compiled packages (with all your local
settings). Install on local nodes with --usepkg (there are short notations
for both these options). Of course you can combine both 1 and 2 :).
See "man portage" and/or "portage --help" for more. Read portage docs on
gentoo.org. Also scan through gentoo-user archives (use gmane.org) and search
forums.gentoo.org. This whole topic was covered immense number of times..
George
