actually, i think that onu could be updated to be much more sane once we have file:// based repos and pkgrecv. when that happens, onu should use pkrecv to download a repo locally, and then configure it via file://. then it can do the update. i think that caching onu'd bits locally is important because often times when dealing with development gates, the bits that you've onu'd may no longer be available if another build has occurred. so if we cache the bits locally then we'll still be able to install missing ON packages, and more importantly, we'd still be able to install zones. publisher management wrt zones will continue to be a pain until we have the system publisher. which is currently part of the second phase of pkg zones integration. ed _______________________________________________ on-discuss mailing list on-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/on-discuss
