portage is one of the most elegant software distribution mechanisms ever created. and you dont have to have a cluster to leverage its usefulness. how would i push to multiple machines simultaneously, probly batch an emerge of the latest version of my code as soon as its available in my proprietary overlay. the remote machines periodically poll the source box for the latest version of the overlay. when its available they then run an install script which updates to w/e is specified by the latest ebuild. and you could easily embed 'instructions' in such overlays; like roll back to version x, in the event of a catastrophe; though i cant think if a great way to force an immediate rollback, at least not off the top of my head. i mean, you could really build it yourself, especially since php is just source files to push around. but why reinvent the wheel, portage is already here and it works great. -nathan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
