rsync of an installation normally handled by a package manager - not a good idea. Instead, you can make a list of all installed packages, and install them with pkgutil on the other host. If any locally modified configuration files need copying, you can rsync them selectively. You can get some examples from a similar scenario, these are instructions for migrating from Blastwave to OpenCSW. It's similar in that you need to uninstall one set of packages and install another. In your case it'll be only the installation phase. http://www.opencsw.org/use-it/migrating-from-blastwave-to-opencsw/ Maciej _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/users
