The whole idea sounds a little risky. I'd use binary packages to keep the |
| 15 |
other machines up to date. Set FEATURES="buildpkg" in make.conf on each |
| 16 |
computer and set PKGDIR to a directory accessible by all over NFS. Run |
| 17 |
your normal emerge -u --whatever world on the first then run the same |
| 18 |
with -k on the others. That way they all get the same updates but only |
| 19 |
the first has to compile them. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I'd also set up distcc to reduce compile times, but that's a separate |
| 22 |
step. |
