You mean the work directories such as /usr/ports/net/gaim/work? Or did you mean a different work directory?

It would be easier (and faster) to build the stuff on the faster machine and create packages off it to give to the slower box. Check out "pkg_create -b".

Certainly. Just make you don't synchronize work/ subdirectories too, if they contain prebuilt binaries that don't match the setup of the destination machine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
keeping ports up to date on two personal machines
Hello guys, I just have a quick question. I have two FreeBSD-5.4-p2 machines, and instead of using cvsup on both machines to keep my ports up to date could I just rsync /usr/ports/ from the faster machine to the other one without any issues? I understand I could run a private cvsup server, but for two machines this seems a little excessive. Any suggestions or problems with this idea?
