Hi, |
| 2 |
|

This is a theoretical question, and a very simplified example of |
| 4 |
what I'm thinking, but it serves to get the idea across.... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Suppose I am planning multiple Gentoo servers, I will want them all |
| 7 |
based on the "Hardened" profile (they are servers after all!) but I will |
| 8 |
also want them all to have the ipv6 use flag set, since my internal |
| 9 |
network is completely ipv6. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Which is better, have a standard make.conf, with USE="ipv6" and copy |
| 12 |
that around, or create my own profile? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I assume that I could copy the hardened profile, change a couple of |
| 15 |
files, and then re-link make.profile. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1) Would changes be lost on rysnc, since my new folder isn't in the |
| 18 |
tree I'm syncing with? Is there a way around that? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The advantage I see over the copy-the-make.conf situation, is that I |
| 21 |
can change the use flags once, and they are copied for all servers at |
| 22 |
the next sync (all servers would obviously sync to a central box), |
| 23 |
whilst still being able to keep other things (CFLAGS? IF servers have |
| 24 |
different processors etc) different for different servers.... |
