OK I edited /etc/crontab to this: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
30 1 * * * root emerge sync |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
b) runs rsyncd to make the server's portage tree available to the internal |
| 14 |
gentoo systems. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
OK following these pages: |
| 17 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror. |
| 18 |
ON the internal server I 'emerge rsync' |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Then edited the /etc/rsync.conf file as specified |
| 21 |
and ran rc-update. |
| 22 |

| 24 |
|
| 25 |
On each system I added these entries to the /etc/make.conf file: |
| 26 |
GENTOO_MIRRORS="192.168.2.9" |
| 27 |
SYNC="rsync://192.168.2.9" |
| 28 |
So that they both sync and download files from the internal server |

Well this is a problem. |

Following |

I get: |
| 44 |
emerge http-replicator |
