Hi list,
The company I work for is linux based, we work with our own app written
in wxPython.
I am having a lot of trouble finding a suitable desktop OS, I've just
went with redhat but I think I am having second thoughts about it .
Freebsd (wich we use for some servers) would be an option but:
I find it really difficult to keep freebsd up to date in a desktop
situation, recompiling things like gnome can take a lot of time.
So what I would really like is to make one machine the build/test
machine and keep this machine up to date with the ports and portmanager
or so.
Can I then set up some kind of repo with the packages from this machine
and run something like "yum upgrade" on every desktop we have ?
I know something like sharing (thus building it only once and installing
it on multiple pc's) /usr/ports could be done but it is still to much
work and I would like something that also works over the internet.
Ideas anyone ?
kind regards

Hi Bram,
You can use a build server and a staging server. I had it set up but
unfortunately the hardware's lone hard disk recently snapped its
spindle, so I can't help you out with settings. I think Michael Lucas
wrote some articles on exactly that, though. Basically the idea is, the
build server spends its time rebuilding everything and supplying it to
the staging server, which is a repository for the latest builds.
Pretty cool huh?
