Hello list=2C=

 =3B

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

 =3B

What would yo= u guys recommend to manage multiple servers and the package versions?

 =3B

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

 =3B

Example=2C op= enssh how should I be updating openssh on all of my servers other than logging onto each one in t= urn and running emerge openssh.

 =3B

Should I cron= schedule an emerge --update world =3B and control the repository of packages or is = there a more elegant solution?

 =3B

Regards=2C
