Building a FreeBSD Build System (O'ReillyNet)
[Posted April 17, 2006 by ris]
O'ReillyNet
covers
setting up a build system for FreeBSD. "
To set up a FreeBSD build
system, you need three components. A build server is the first
requirement. It should be either a fairly beefy uniprocessor or a lesser
SMP-based machine. The second component is a staging server, which is
basically a test machine where you can test the build without potentially
destroying a production box. This doesn't have to be a machine with much
fanfare, but it should be as close as possible to the rest of your machines
to ensure an accurate test platform. The third component, called the build
set, consists of all the clients to which you want to install the
updates. These are your production machines."
