for things that have complex deps. A mixed alternative to this would be: use rsync to manage distributing the system-wide configuration files for all relevant packages (similar to what you're doing at the moment). This could include just the /etc directory (and/or other system-wide config directories) leaving the user files untouched instead of trying to rsync any binaries or libraries, use the master to build a binary package ("--buildpkg") of whatever software is to be installed, with the package directory shared over NFS or similar. Then, on the slaves, set emerge default opts to "--usepkg" or "--usepkgonly" with a cron job, leaving the actual updating of applications on the slave systems to portage. - -- wraeth -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlKqVh0ACgkQGYlqHeQRhkyaLgD9EkPdV4YjdSikEo2wj0DdPWLj vaXpfs9H2HUI5bIhLVkA+gMZcz9o+s+m01atrHGNV8fmOg61hkBFEfe4s4yjqiV9 =oauw -END PGP SIGNATURE-
