Just nfs share /usr/portage.. Works great for all the above..

Jeff

It isn't sutable: 1st computer isn't turned on always. The 2d one
must have an own portage/distfiles local independent copy.

You can install apache and set it up as a mirror.. Ftp server as a mirror..
Set the first one up as a rsync mirror..

All pretty pointless if its not gonna be on half the time..

Why you doing that?

The description of what you want sounds exactly how I do it.

First you must run rsyncd on the computer that will be serving the
portage tree. Have something like the following in /etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf:

uid = nobody
gid = nobody
use chroot = yes
max connections = 5
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
transfer logging = yes
log format = %t %a %m %f %b
syslog facility = local3
timeout = 300

[gentoo-portage]
path = /usr/portage
comment = Gentoo Linux Portage tree
exclude = distfiles

start rsyncd: /etc/init.d/rsyncd start

On the client machine have in you make.conf:

SYNC=rsync://name_or_IP_of_rsync_server/gentoo-portage

For the distfiles, I prefer to serve them via HTTP (just create a
symlink from your htdocs dir to your distfiles dir) and then have the
server as the first server in GENTOO_MIRRORS.

There are other ways to serve distfiles (you can use rsync for that too
if you want), just pick the one that serves you best (pun intended).

Jeff,

My ugly english doesn't allow me to understand an exactly meaning of
"your top posting". Probably it means my Re:'s takes place above quoting.
If it so, well, it is common way among few my colleagues (including me).
If you think such formatting may be annoying for wide range of readers,
I'll try to find something useful in KMail configuration.

Aaron,

Thanks, it helped for syncing. But when I try to use rsyncd for
distfiles fetching, emerge says about "Unsupported scheme". I have
added these lines to conf file:

[anli-distfiles]
path = /x/portage
comment = Anli Distfiles
hosts allow = 192.168.1.2

Distfiles are allocated in /x/portage/distfiles, /x/portage is
chmod-ed as -R 666, client's make.conf has this line:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="rsync://192.168.1.1/anli-distfiles"

Where is my fault?

Not for me so much, but a lot of people in the email list world do not like
it..

my biggest beef with top posting is that most top posters don't "trim"
the email after they write their wisdom. After several iterations of
this, you have the entire thread in one reply - why have thread capable
email clients if this is supposed to be the case?

Of course, there are some bottom posters who do the same, and that
annoys me even more as they are even *lazier* than the top posters. Ya
took the time to configure your client to bottom post, and you don't
even trim the fat? That's like going to the kitchen to get some food,
and not bothering because you'd have to open the refrigerator.

Well said.. :) Had not heard that one before..

Usually those are the ones you skip down 100 lines and it says, I agree.. :)

OK, after googling I have replaced old distfiles-aware fragment with:

[gentoo-packages]
path = /x/portage/distfiles
comment = Anli Linux Packages mirror

Still "Unsupported scheme" msg takes place.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I do remember that when I first set this up
(more than a year ago), I was also unable to get distfiles to serve over
rsync, but I cannot remember why. You might want to try searching the
forums for "local rsync mirror" in the tips, tricks, & docs section, as
that's where I saw the original guide I used, which iirc, explains how
to use rsync for distfiles.
