If you ran the central server in a VM, you could have it run "emerge --sync && emerge -uDN @world" from cron. You could do this without a VM, but a VM allows you to take snapshots before each sync/build cycle, so that you can roll back if an update breaks it. --=20 Neil Bothwick The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach. --Sig_/D8brQ5+9bx2BcTpanasUS=0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlJIeiAACgkQum4al0N1GQNf/QCeLLpmRBlRcUDgc+cYLuQbn7f6 2noAoNvYDRZwBbjVv+9iWZJ0QjCW9v5P =egWc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/D8brQ5+9bx2BcTpanasUS=0--
