Hi. I'm just curious to know what approaches people use to keep multiple debian boxes updated with apt. I currently have 3 (soon to be 4) debian slink boxes, and it's kind of irritating to have to download each package on each system. I have squid setup on one of them, so I'm really only downloading one copy, but it's still slower than, say, a local nfs install. Ideally, what I'd like to do is have one system export it's apt cache via nfs to the other two, with a cron job to download the latest packages (``apt-get -d upgrade'') - then point apt on the local machines to an autofs-controlled nfs mount of the exported apt cache. This way, I would get things a bit more automated, but i'd still have a hand in how the packages get installed, so no problems with apt clobbering conffiles like with the -y option. Any suggestions?
