File README.import of Package texlive-bin
TeXLive over NFS for Clients
============================
Four steps are required:
* First (of all of the clients): Do not install any TeXLive
packages but at least the package texlive-nfs.
* Second (on the server): Install the TeXLive packages your
need and add the following 4 lines to /etc/export
/etc/texmf *.your.domain.here(ro,sync,root_squash)
/usr/lib/texmf *.your.domain.here(ro,sync,root_squash)
/usr/share/texmf *.your.domain.here(ro,sync,root_squash)
/var/lib/texmf *.your.domain.here(ro,sync,root_squash)
/var/cache/texmf *.your.domain.here(rw,sync,root_squash)
and call
killall -HUP rpc.mountd rpc.nfsd
* If other an architecture for the binaries are required on the client
side as installed on the server, those can be installed by using e.g.
rpm --excludepath=/usr/bin --ignorearch --nodeps --force \
-Uhv texlive-bin-2009-12.11.x86_64.rpm
on e.g. i686 based NFS server.
* Third (of all of the clients): Run the following command:
texlive-import your.texlive.server.here
with `your.texlive.server.here' the IP address or the full
qualified domain name of your TeXLive server.
* Fourth (of all of the clients): Add the four lines which the
script texlive-import has (hopefully) written to standard out
to the file
/etc/fstab
