Hi,
This is a theoretical question, and a very simplified example of
what I'm thinking, but it serves to get the idea across....
Suppose I am planning multiple Gentoo servers, I will want them all
based on the "Hardened" profile (they are servers after all!) but I will
also want them all to have the ipv6 use flag set, since my internal
network is completely ipv6.
Which is better, have a standard make.conf, with USE="ipv6" and copy
that around, or create my own profile?
I assume that I could copy the hardened profile, change a couple of
files, and then re-link make.profile.
1) Would changes be lost on rysnc, since my new folder isn't in the
tree I'm syncing with? Is there a way around that?
The advantage I see over the copy-the-make.conf situation, is that I
can change the use flags once, and they are copied for all servers at
the next sync (all servers would obviously sync to a central box),
whilst still being able to keep other things (CFLAGS? IF servers have
different processors etc) different for different servers....
Discuss....
