I am not sure if there is really a solution to this problem, but it might lead to some brainstorming and finally a solution :-)
We have a one live server to which we have a mirror server, the mirror is an exact copy of the data and as part of our disaster recovery plan we should be able to take down the live server and use our mirror server when there is a need. Now part of the problem is the fact that I have to maintain packages on both machines separately. Thus if I say emerge php with custom use flags on the lvie server, I have to do the same on the backup server. Is there a way of automating this process? I am, not so concerned with kernel and device drivers, as the hardware can be different. I am more concerned about user level packages like Apache/PHP etc. Can I mirror the portage in anyway such that I can have the same user level packages via single emerge? Thanks for the help.
