i tried to be smart and deleted my /usr/portage after mounting it on /mnt/portage but some links like /etc/make.profile and make.defaults point to files in /usr/portage/profiles... this causes portage to stop working  so i try to fix it with rescue tarball but now get this error when i try to emerge sync...:

(Could take a couple minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)

Hmmm, all that I did in order to share out my /usr/portage directory was put this into my /etc/exports on the serving machine:
| Code: |
/usr/portage *(ro,all_squash)
|
and put this in the /etc/make.conf on the client machine:
| Code: |
PORTDIR=/mnt/portage
|
of course, if something isn't there, the client system will try to snag it from the net, still. It's unavoidable, really, unless you have a custom script to catch a reply, compile something, and toss it back on request. (or compile everything) What I do is if I find that the client's trying to snag something that isn't there, I make it on the server machine. (through distcc it's very fast) |

Great idea for a small lan, but when you get bigger than a few machines you'll want to have more control over what packages are allowed on the machines.
But yes.. that's the best way to go for all-out access. |
