I am doing the same thing for our gentoo servers, with one variation. I try to keep the stapshot completely clean, and add updates using PORTDIR_OVERLAY. So far this has been very stable for us, and I am very pleased with the arrangement. I am about to migrate our last few redhat servers over the next few weeks. So far there has only been one problem.... The ebuild for a recent openssl update needed a more recent portage than we had been using, the updated portage needed a newer bash, and the updated bash ebuild also needed a newer portage. deadlock! We have now adopted a policy of updating portage every 8 weeks, even on the stable servers, even when we dont think we need an update. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
