in response to your other question about use flags: No, it doesn't, because USE="" emerge only influences that build. man portage and read up on /etc/portage/package.use.
as for this question.. export /usr/portage via nfs and emerge -b on one, emerge -k on the other. read up on the docs, man, portage will do everything you want if you sweet talk her. -Sri On Fri, April 15, 2005 2:03 am, Devraj Mukherjee said: > 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.
