Here is the script I have been using. I prefer to update manualy especialy on my servers 
I set it up as a weekly cron to notify me of updates.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::SMTP;
my $mailserver = "mail";
my $sysadmin = "root\@bouncelot.com";
my $message = "";
$bUpdates = 0;
#Update the package tree.
`emerge sync > /dev/null`;
$message = "System Updates: \n";
$_ = `emerge -up system`;
$message .= checkForUpdates($_);
$message .= "\nWorld Updates: \n";
$_ = `emerge -up world`;
$message .= checkForUpdates($_);
$message .= "\nKernel Updates: \n";
$_ = `emerge -p gentoo-sources`;
$message .= checkForUpdates($_);
if($bUpdates == 1) {
sendStatus($mailserver, $sysadmin, $message);
}
exit 0;
sub checkForUpdates
{
my $message = "";
/^\n+(.*):\n+(.*)!\n+(.*)\n+$/;
if($3 ne "") {
$message = "$3\n";
$bUpdates = 1;
}
else {
$message = "None.\n";
}
return $message;
}
sub sendStatus
{
my $hostname = `hostname -f`;
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($_[0]);
$smtp->mail($ENV{USER});
$smtp->to($_[1]);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: $_[1]\n");
$smtp->datasend("From: $ENV{USER}\n");
$smtp->datasend("Subject: $hostname System Update\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend($_[2]);
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;

|

i'm sorry if there is an answer somewhere in the documetnation - i haven't found it
i have several servers running gentoo, doing emerge sync every couple of days
my question is - is it possible to change all of them but one to sync with my 'master' ?
then i need to sync master against rsync.gentoo.org and the rest of my servers against the master
not only that it reduces load on gentoo servers, it also reduces my internet traffic and saves me money
or shall i just run rsync command to sync /usr/portage instead of emerge sync (on 'slaves') ?
thanks,
martin |
