This is the scenario. I build all packages locally (a number have special configs). This is done on one machine, which is then the repository for 'pkg install'.
So far so good. I now want to update the ports. I see how to do this using portmaster, and how to generate packages on the package server. But...how do I use portmaster on the 'slave' machines, using the packages I built? I can ask it to use a local directory, and NFS mount the main package directory on the package server. But portmaster requires the Latest directory, symlinks, etc. My manual build didn't add those originally. Is there an easy way of building all the symlinks required by portmaster? I can see how to regenerate Latest, but portmaster asks for other stuff according to the manual page. I know portmaster -g will do this but that won't do the existing packages. Is there a script somewhere, or am I over complicating things?
