Hello list,

Seems to be a few people recently wanting to discuss Gentoo as a server :-) so thought I would pose a question that has been bugging me.

What would you guys recommend to manage multiple servers and the package versions?

While I have a central emerge server (rsync) and sync all of my servers to it I still manually update the packages.

Example, openssh how should I be updating openssh on all of my servers other than logging onto each one in turn and running emerge openssh.

Should I cron schedule an emerge --update world  and control the repository of packages or is there a more elegant solution?

Regards,

Mat.
