15 Two other ideas:
16
17 1) Work with a PORTDIR_OVERLAY and distribute it via rsync. Do some trick
18 (alias, wrapper-script, whatever) to make the other machines always sync
19 both (portage and overlay).
20
21 2) Make your own portage mirror (not official) and let the same cron job
22 that does the rsync for portage also copy your overlay into the portage
23 tree. Use this as the rsync mirror for your other machines.
