If all your computers have the same configurantion (or, as you said, |
| 20 |
very similar), you could build ONE box, set it to be a BINHOST, use a |
| 21 |
network shared dir for distfiles, set distcc, set ccache (all while |
| 22 |
installing) and use it as a local RSYNC server, this would give you: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1) Super fast install at the other machines. |
| 25 |
2) Less stress on your backbone. |
| 26 |
4) Fast compiles at the host with all the machines as distcc servers. |
| 27 |
3) No compile time at all BINHOST clients. |
