In fixing CR 241, I have come across some discrepancies between the pkg.depotd man page and what is in the SMF manifest.

I've corrected most of these, but there are a few questions outstanding:

1. The man page talks about the command-line options overriding the SMF
   properties, but since the depot does not try to get these properties
   from SMF, this would appear to be incorrect.

   So, should the depot.py or modules/server/config.py be trying to get
   the (default) properties from SMF - as implied by the man page or is
   the man page incorrect in saying that the command-line args override
   the SMF properties?

2. The --readonly argument is listed in the man page as being an SMF
   property. However, it is not in the manifest.

   I think this should be added as a property in the manifest, but would
   appreciate confirmation of this.

3. The SMF manifest contains the property 'inst_root' which is actually
   intended to represent the repo directory.

   I think this should be renamed to "repo_dir" in SMF to be more obvious
   and also correspond with the man page definitions. Can someone confirm
   that this is ok?

Cheers,
Trev
