Hello! Just wondering if there is any way of "pushing" out packages to a number of Crux machines with the current package system (can't find that feature in the handbook though)? Say i wan't to install a package on 50 machines, is there some sort of tool i can use to push them out to a selected number of machines in a network and they atomagically installs? I think there is something similar for Red Hat, but they use RPM so that probably won't work with CRUX. Maybe there is some other generic Linux/Unix tools that does this sort of thing that works with various distros including CRUX? Or maybe theres something like that on the CRUX todo-list? :) Mats
About 5 years ago, I wrote a script to do just that for Solaris packages... it should be fairly easy to adapt to something like crux...

pkgsync might be what you are looking for. See [1]. A port for pkgsync is in the jdolan repository. HTH Juergen [1] http://crux.nu/Wiki/ToolsAndScripts -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

this can be accomplished by using a) a shared NFS/AFS/... Mirror (and PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR set to the mounted share) b) dsh to issue pkgadd / prt-get install on all hosts To be honest: I did not have a look at the script mentioned in this thread, so maybe it uses this approach, too. kind regards, Thomas Penteker -- BofH excuse #4711: radiosity depletion
