> What is? This message makes no sense on the mail list. Ian, I take it that you only use Solaris 10 and Solaris Express and don't ever use Indiana, ipkg zones or IPS package management? The main OpenSolaris IPS repository has been going down repeatedly for over two days now. Some people who have been running OpenSolaris on their servers have not been able to deploy a new ipkg zone in over 48 hours and all their work has been forced to grind to a halt.
Nobody who works at Sun has said anything about what might be causing the problem. All the people who use ipkg zones on OpenSolaris are basically now S.O.L. because every time they try to deploy a new ipkg zone, the new ipkg zone automatically tries to download packages from the Sun repository and the download times out because the IPS repository is down and consequently the zone won't deploy. There are already three or four threads about this in the "help" list at opensolaris.org (see link below): http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=107149&tstart=0 but nobody is responding to the cries for help (just dead air time and crickets chirping). So we tried moving the thread to the discuss list in the hope that someone knowledgeable would see the multiple pleas for help and respond. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
