I simply use onu as described for http:// repositories but replacing the http URL with a file one - though I'm doing it with the X gate packages, the process should be just the same for ON gate packages: Installing from a network repository: onu -O -u http://xserver.sfbay.sun.com:10000/ -U x-nightly -t X144 Installing from a filesystem base repository: onu -O -u file:///net/xserver.sfbay.sun.com/export/x-re/pkgs/X_NV_milestone/x86/B144/repo -U x-nightly -t X144 Obviously for ON you'd not want "-U x-nightly" (probably remove to use the on-nightly default unless you've changed it in your workspace / project gate). The repo path for a gate you built would be something like: file:///.../your-onnv-clone/packages/i386/nightly-nd/repo.redist/ (Remember that file:/// should have three slashes - two for the "file://" prefix and the third to start the filesystem path.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ on-discuss mailing list on-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/on-discuss
