Hi, rd said the following on 11/11/2003 4:50 PM>>
I am supporting 5 gentoo boxes. Presently I emerge to each box independently. Very time consuming -- even though I am using DISTCC for distributed compiles.
Is anyone successfully compiling/emerge'ing to one box and then creating binary packages for installation on other boxes?
I need help, please. I have tried to do this, but have not been able to get it to work.
Detailed directions would be *greatly* appreciated.

I have three boxes with gentoo (one AMD xp, one PII and one P4 ). I don't use much fancy compilr settings just i686. What I do is, keep portage on one machine and NFS export it to other machines. while emerging something, I emerge on the fastest machine first with emerge -b <package> option. that builds the binary package along with installing it on the same machine. then on othr machines its just emerge -K <package> and it installs form the binary package.
