Sure, bit thats's the point were diversity (hostnames, ssh_host_keys) |
| 9 |
kicks in (which has been eliminated in mentioned example) and |
| 10 |
the repo carries confidential information. |
| 11 |
(Well, if somebody places an compromised update in the |
| 12 |
local-overlay, i'd blindly install anything) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I even have / inside git for testing, with excludes on /opt/ /usr |
| 15 |
/{s,}/bin /etc/ssl and so on. |
| 16 |

It works and is handy to easily add apache config, web-app-config |
| 18 |
installed roundcube, layman overlay list, but the maintenance of the |
| 19 |
.gitignore raises and hardlink solutions like dirvish make more sense |
| 20 |
for being complete backups (LD_LIBRRY_PATH=/backup/.../tree/usr/lib). |

cool. |

So basically everyone uses personal `apt-get update` (cvs co, porticron, |
| 28 |
emerge+layman, eix-sync) strategies and even more |
| 29 |
funny little scripts for `apt-get upgrade` (-avuND world, aliases, |
| 30 |
scripts). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I wonder if anybody uses unattended [backup+]emerge as cron job. |
| 33 |
I'm really temped to do so, but with users relying on these machines I'm |
| 34 |
always chicken-out. |
