Very cool; thank you Dave! This makes building images easier and less error
prone than using SysV packages and finalizer scripts. Out of curiosity,
can we order additional repos if we're doing an ON nightly build mixed
with an install nightly build (and thus still needing /dev too)?

If you are not a developer for the Caiman project, you can ignore the

With the integration of the fixes for bug 15784, the Caiman slim_source tree
now builds pkg(5) packages automatically. The flag day for developers is
that any changes to the objects delivered in packages must now update the
manifests found in usr/src/pkg/manifests. The slim_source tree will
temporarily be building both SVR4 and pkg(5) packages in parallel until we
have implemented direct delivery to Release Engineering of our pkg(5)
packages, so please ensure that any packaging changes are reflected in both
usr/src/pkg and usr/src/pkgdefs until the SVR4 package build is removed.
Once you've built a repository as part of your source tree, you can start a
repository service with:
/usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly-nd/repo.redist -p
<port> &
To use packages from your repository in a Distribution Constructor image
build, set your default authority as:
<pkg_repo_default_authority>
<main url="http://localhost:<port>" authname="install-nightly"/>
</pkg_repo_default_authority>
and configure appropriate additional repositories (such as the /dev
repository) using pkg_repo_addl_authority tags.
This is a direct adaptation of the OS/Net consolidation's package build
structure; notes on the implementation can be found in
usr/src/pkg/README.pkg.
