The new Update-function in pkg_add allows to build up f.e. an own private Update-Server (a simple ftpD) to keep machines in the LAN up to date.
The Problem is: Even if you mirror all packages you wont get all Updates because updated packages are just provided for i386. I would like to build up such a Server but for this I would need to compile everything from Ports. Has anybody maybe a Script to compile the whole Ports-Tree (e.g. the script the developers may use to build the packages for a release? I don`t think they4ll do "make install" (or familiar) in /usr/ports). And does somebody own maybe also a Script wich compiles just the "updated"-Ports?! So it would be possible to build up a binary-update-Server (packages+ftpD) and it would be easy to update e.g. a LAN because the clients would have to check for updates e.g. once a day and they would not need to compile the port. I could place updated packages by hand at the Server or build them by hand, yes.. but I`m looking for e.g. a Script. I`m sure somebody has already thought about the same solution. Kind regards, Sebastian
