I am not sure if there is really a solution to this problem, but it might |
| 2 |
lead to some brainstorming and finally a solution :-) |

We have a one live server to which we have a mirror server, the mirror is |
| 5 |
an exact copy of the data and as part of our disaster recovery plan we |
| 6 |
should be able to take down the live server and use our mirror server when |
| 7 |
there is a need. |

Now part of the problem is the fact that I have to maintain packages on |
| 10 |
both machines separately. Thus if I say emerge php with custom use flags |
| 11 |
on the lvie server, I have to do the same on the backup server. Is there a |
| 12 |
way of automating this process? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I am, not so concerned with kernel and device drivers, as the hardware can |
| 15 |
be different. I am more concerned about user level packages like |
| 16 |
Apache/PHP etc. Can I mirror the portage in anyway such that I can have |
| 17 |
the same user level packages via single emerge? |

Thanks for the help. |
