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?

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.
