compiling ports to packages on fast system, installing on slower one

[Rafael Aquino]

Hi, there...

One way to do it is to run a portupgrade -n ... to see what would
be upgraded, then compile it on the fastest system, export the
/usr/ports through nfs and then run a portupgrade -w -W ... using the
exported filesystem on the slower system...

Don't forget to sincronize both ports system with cvsup...

Just a though... ;-)
