I'm contemplating a binary distribution system for some systems that I
have. I'm ignoring kernel updates for the moment, and concentrating
on userland deployment.
I'm thinking of doing something like:
make buildworld
make installworld DESTDIR=/big/disk/freebsd/image
make mergemaster -D /big/disk/freebsd/mergemaster
And then on each machine I want to update I'd do something like:
sudo rsync --exclude etc --exclude usr/local --exclude boot \
--delete -av host-server:/big/disk/freebsd/image /
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mergemaster
sudo scp host-server:/big/disk/freebsd/mergemaster /tmp/mergemaster
sudo mergemaster -someargs
My question is: has anybody else tried this? If so, what bumps along
the way are there going to be?
