Even $PKGDIR? That's not a good idea unless you have identical
hardware and USE flags.
But didn't you say the other day that you do nfs-mount the target's
$PKGDIR on the host?
Yes, but a separate PGKDIR for each host. I don't just export $PORTDIR
and leave PKGDIR in there.
If I recall correctly, you can just change the PKGDIR setting in
make.conf to another location and then share /usr/portage the way I used
to. I was wanting to hit the tab key to let it fill in portage. lol
I'm used to tab completion but it don't work in emails. ;-)
Since http-replicator and rsync can be used and is so easy to set up, I
would just use that if possible. There may be exceptions to that tho.
