hi,
I have 7 computers in local network and I want them to have always the
same portage files (the ones synchronized with rsync). of course I can
use crontab to make them sync at a specific time but I'm wondering if
there's a better alternative. I saw a wiki page which says to create
one local rsync server and have the other 6 computers synchronize with
it (by pointing the SYNC variable to the local rsync server). but I
also thought NFS could be nice: I just have to sync one machine and
everyone will always be "synchronized".
what's the best approach for this case?
thanks!

I think either way would work. The bad thing about a NFS is that you
have to run emerge --metadata to update the files in /var. I think this
is still correct. I always synced to my main machine. It is easier in
my opinion. I seem to recall having to uncomment one line in the config
file and start rsyncd. It worked.
My thoughts at least.
