Distributing Ports Locally

[rob34]

I have a few machines that are all running 7.2/amd64. I would like to run 'portsnap fetch install' on one machine and then rsync that machine's /usr/ports/ tree to the other machines on my network. I don't want to suck up more bandwidth than I need.

Is there anything else that would need to be copied to the local machines?

Nope, though NFS-exporting the /usr/ports directory to different servers may be even less time-consuming.

Yep, that's how I do it.

Great- thanks for the feedback.
