hi, |

I have 7 computers in local network and I want them to have always the same portage files (the ones synchronized with rsync). of course I can use crontab to make them sync at a specific time but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative. I saw a wiki page which says to create one local rsync server and have the other 6 computers synchronize with it (by pointing the SYNC variable to the local rsync server). but I also thought NFS could be nice: I just have to sync one machine and everyone will always be "synchronized". |

The options you mentioned is the best...Just settup the rsync server on the machine you want it on and then setup a cront job to update it daily. Set your 6 hosts to use your local rsync server machine and create cron jobs for the 6 machines. Just make sure that their cron jobs are 5-10 minutes ahead of when the local rsync server updates it's files. |
