I want to setup a local binary Gentoo mirror so my machines doesn't need |
| 2 |
to compile the packages themself (get pre-compiled software) and also |
| 3 |
only get software that has been tested on the particular hardware (the |
| 4 |
'client' machines are all the same hardware spec, except memory and cpu |
| 5 |
speed, so CFLAGS are not changed.. and my USE flags are also same across |
| 6 |
the machines. What I've figured out is: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
- I need to assign a machine to be a "auto-builder", just build everything |
| 9 |
I want/need as pre-compiled packages |
| 10 |
- I need a repository to store the packages |
| 11 |
- Need to setup some kind of mirror I can point the other machines to |
| 12 |
for their rsync mirror |
| 13 |
- Make sure that the machines only uses the local repository for packages, |
| 14 |
and always get the pre-compiled version of it |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Anyone have done some doc's to accomplish this? Where can I find those |
| 17 |
if they exist? |
| 18 |

Also, is it possible to tell emerge to use another root (/) |
| 20 |
when installing new packages, or is 'chroot' the |
| 21 |
only option? I am experimenting with Solaris live |
| 22 |
upgrade methology and want portage to update the cold |
| 23 |
partition. http://www.samag.com/documents/s=7789/sam0302j/0302j.htm has |
| 24 |
a description how Sun's Live upgrade works. |
