[SOLVED] Best way to upgrade two machines

I have a laptop and a desktop both running a similarly installed ArchLinux. What's the best way to upgrade both machines? The default configuration download the files twice, which of course is not optimal. I would not like to maintain a user repository because it seems overkill. Could the upgrade process be somehow automated using pacman cache from the other machine.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
