Hello list,
Now that I have my NFS set up (with help - thanks) the next problem is that,
having new packages built by my workstation over NFS, emerge on the tiny box
is ignoring all those new packages. And yes, I have checked that they do
exist, and in the right place: /var/cache/packages/ .
The man page says that any new package will cause a remerge, so what has
tripped me up this time?

Default location for binary packages is /var/cache/binpkgs/
Can't remember what I did, but the first thing to check is you're using
the same make flags (unless of course, you're sharing /etc/portage).
Then I seem to remember using -bK or something like that. So the command
I'm giving emerge is "use a binary if you can find it, otherwise build it".
Because I might emerge packages on either machine, that worked great for
me. And I actually usually emerged stuff on the slower machine, because
it was more reliable ... :-)
Cheers,
Wol
