A possible idea would be to have all the servers share a central nfs store which contains all the distfiles that have been downloaded so far and mount that on all the computers that need distfiles in their respective portage directories.
It would be alot smarter than downloading all the files and updating it daily. just my 2c worth P ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erwin Lang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 10:30 AM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: gentoo distfiles - how much space Am Montag, 20.

(Unless you're setting up a public > mirror, that's a good thing.) we have about 15 servers in our company, and I'm not interested in downloading the same packages from the internet for each server.
