Yes this is even possible. $ mkdir $space/packages/All $ pkg create -a -o $space/packages/All $ pkg repo $space/packages/ Populate $space/packages via http(s), nfs or ftp on your client: $ mkdir -p $LOCALBASE/etc/pkg/repos $ cat << _EOL > $LOCALBASE/etc/pkg/repos/mapitz.conf mapitz: { url: "$proto://$baquery_maschine/$space/packages" , enabled : true , mirror_type : none } _EOF On your client run '$ pkg upgrade' and you are done. However I suspect this method changes the checksum of the packages every time you run '$ pkg create -a -o ...', but even then only packages that really changed PORTREVISION ... will be updated on your client. The better way with a fast box is to run ports-mgmt/poudriere and also have clean packages for your fast box. A good starting point is to create a poudriere build and sync your /var/db/ports to $LOCALBASE/etc/poudriere.d/($build)options/ and copy your /etc/make.conf to $LOCALBASE/etc/poudriere.d/ Then use a list of ports (pkg_info -qoa| pkg info -qoa) and fire up a build. The next time only changed ports are rebuild. In the past I used tinderbox with the command $ ./tc addBuildPortsQueueEntry -b ${BUILD} to get consistent packages and had to wait a long time (*everything* was located in a big 20GB RAM disk and/or on SSD), with poudriere most everything is done on zfs in a part of the time and I guess with most in a RAM disk even faster. A good way to play with the new tools: Setup a jail, install parts of your packages, convert them to pkg packages and on a second jail install this ports. -- olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
