What I'm trying to do is build packages from the ports tree on my faster machine (BLACKLAMB) and then install those packages on my slower machine (BLACKSHEEP). I've found that either 'make package' or portupgrade -p will build a package and place it in /usr/ports/packages. Because I run samba on this faster machine, I created a 'ports' share and mounted it via smbfs on the slower machine. My 'df' output shows this:
blacksheep# df

/dev/ad0s1a 99183 54479 36770 60% /
/dev/ad2s1e 3691213 1307513 2088403 39% /usr
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc

//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/OBJ 16639488 4049920 12589568 24% /usr/obj
Thus /usr/ports/packages on BLACKSHEEP contains all of the packages built on BLACKLAMB:

I want to make BLACKSHEEP use this collection rather than fetching from ftp.FreeBSD.org.
And I have another question. Is there some way to make package without having to install it on the machine that makes it? There are some things I want to install on BLACKSHEEP but not on BLACKLAMB. Can I build the package on BLACKLAMB without installing it? I know I can just 'pkg_delete' to remove it after it's installed. But then there's times when I want things compiled with different options. For example, I have the full version of bacula installed on BLACKLAMB. I'd like to use BLACKLAMB to build a bacula "WITH_CLIENT_ONLY=YES" package and install it on BLACKSHEEP. How can I do this without ruining the bacula running on BLACKLAMB?
OK, enough questions. Thanks for any help!!! I really appreciate it.
