[gentoo-user] nfs share /usr/portage between computers?

[Chris Frederick]

Hi all,

I was just wondering about sharing the /usr/portage directory through 
nfs between multiple computers.  I have everything set up, and I have it 
running between two so far, but I'm getting QA notices.  This got me 
wondering if there are any issues with sharing /usr/portage between 
different archs.  I have two other computers that I would also like on 
this setup (p3 laptop, and p3 desktop).  I'm assuming that the problems 
are going to arise with the zeon->amd64 comps rather than the other two. 
  Here's what I'm seeing:

SERVER: dual Zeon 2.6Ghz

zeon ~ # emerge --sync
  <snipped update>

Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2005
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
   .='update pass'  *='binary update'  @='/var/db move'
   s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update 
/etc/portage/package.*'
....


CLIENT: AMD Athlon64 3.0Ghz

amd64 ~ # emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend -v world

Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2005
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
   .='update pass'  *='binary update'  @='/var/db move'
   s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update 
/etc/portage/package.*'
....

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \QA Notice: USE Flag 'elibc_uclibc' not 
in IUSE for sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5-r1
QA Notice: USE Flag 'elibc_uclibc' not in IUSE for sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5

<snipped packages>


The QA Notices only show up on the first emerge after doing a --sync on 
the server.  Is this something I should be concerned with, or are the QA 
Notices not that big of deal?  And am I going to run into other issues? 
  I haven't emerged anything just yet since I don't feel like rebuilding 
anything in case it blows up or something.

Thanks all,
Chris Frederick
