I would like to set up one of my Gentoo systems as a binary host to |
| 2 |
build and distribute packages that normally take longer to compile, like |
| 3 |
libreoffice, firefox and thuderbird, to another Gentoo system of mine |
| 4 |
with less RAM. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've been following the instructions found here, |
| 7 |
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide. |
| 8 |
|

What I've done so far on the binhost is: |
| 10 |
(1). I've installed lighttpd and set 'server.document-root' to PKGDIR in |
| 11 |
'/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf'. |
| 12 |
grep portage/packages /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf |
| 13 |
server.document-root = "/usr/portage/packages" |
| 14 |
(2). I've built a libreoffice package using: 'quickpkg |
| 15 |
app-office/libreoffice'. |
| 16 |
ls /usr/portage/packages/ |
| 17 |
Packages app-office |
| 18 |
(3). As I attempted to access http://127.0.0.1/Packages, I got a 403 |
| 19 |
HTTP error returned. I guess that's because of the access permissions |
| 20 |
for PKGDIR. |
| 21 |
ls -ld /usr/portage/packages/ |
| 22 |
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jan 16 18:38 /usr/portage/packages/ |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If I understand it correctly, I have to decide on which protocol to use, |
| 25 |
ftp, http, or ssh. Which one do folk here prefer, or would recommend? |
| 26 |
The wiki article suggests setting up a binpkguser and adding a |
| 27 |
client-root.id.rsa.pub to the binpkguser's authorized_keys, right? Does |
| 28 |
that mean that a dedicated user has to be set up, instead of using my |
| 29 |
current user account on the binhost? |
| 30 |
|root # ||useradd -m -r -G portage -s /bin/bash binpkguser |
| 31 |
root # ||echo clientA-root.id_rsa.pub >> |
| 32 |
/home/binpkguser/.ssh/authorized_keys| |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
On the client system, all I have to do is set up PORTAGE_BINHOST in |
| 35 |
'/etc/portage.make.conf' and emerge the binary packages desired. Is that |
| 36 |
right? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Any other advise, and/or suggestions would be much appreciated. |
