Matt Keenan was kind enough to describe his procedure for adding new packages http://blogs.sun.com/mattman/entry/iso_creation_with_distro_constructor I followed this guide and tried to create a osol 148 image for sparc platform, but hit a few problems. 1. If I tried to create an AI sparc image with version osol 148, what OS version should I adopt for the build server? because I sometimes found the pkg command version is conflict with exception 'pkg.client.api_errors.VersionException', so I manually changed CLIENT_API_VERSION in /usr/bin/pkg, but I know this is not a better way.
Ideally your build machine should match the version of the image you're creating. So, if you're trying to create a build 148 image, you'd want your build machine to be running 148.
2 For Step 4 'Create your own slim install packages', is it necessary for sparc platform?
Yes, you'd need to build the slim install packages on a sparc machine. That is assuming that you are infact making changes to the caiman code. See more on this below ..
3. For step 5 'Import packages to local repo', I need modify ~/gate/src/util/distro-import/Makefile, right? but what's the correct value for the following variables in Makefile. WOS_PKGS: the default value specified an non-existed directory for BUILDID 148 NONWOS_PKGS: where should I point it to? TEST_PKGS: If I changed 2 packages, how to set it. I have set the REPO variable with default value of port 10000, but when I issue '$ make 121/redist_import', the console message indicated to me that port 20000, 20001, 20002, 20003 can not be visited, should I use /usr/lib/pkg.depotd to invoke respective service listeners for them? If so, what's the command line I should run? REPO=http://localhost:10000 ON_REPO=http://localhost:20000 INSTALL_REPO=http://localhost:20001 X_REPO=http://localhost:20002 IPS_REPO=http://localhost:20003 VPANELS_REPO=http://localhost:20004 Even though I have run '/usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d /export/ips/repo -p 20000' .... and '/usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d /export/ips/repo -p 20004', I still hit the following error message, do you know how to resolve it? ====================================== Third pass: dependency id, resolution and publication 2010-09-30 21:26:53.528764 .......... ....... .....

These questions are probably better directed at pkg-discuss.
4. I noticed that the guide is written on Sep 04, 2009, is there any other newer update for it? such as for osol 148, but at least after osol 144.
A more recent copy of the official Distribution Constructor guide is at: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/DistroConst/distro_const.html
5. What is wos packages and nonwos packages? My nightly build is based on 148 source code. /net/fogbroom.prc/bjroot/users/kevin/mpxio/6969682/ws_148 the package information is quite different than before ( I mean compared with Nevada') So many questions, but your quick response is much appreciated, I was stuck here for a few days and can not address the issue.
It appears to me that you are trying to build an AI sparc media in order to test some of your ON changes. Is that correct? If so, you're better off, at a high level, with: a) Standing up an IPS repo just with your ON changes b) Specifying that repo as an additional publisher in your AI DC manifest c) If you're also making changes to slim_source, you'd need to have the slim install package in an IPS repo as well.
