Anoop, If you have SVR4 packages, there is already script for sending to the IPS server. Please have a look at src/util/distro-import/solaris.py from the hg repository.
Another thing is that to use IPS repository, you need to create it first, for example to create user repository, please type command: pkg create-image -u -a somauthority.com=http://localhost:1000 /test/directory than if you will go to the /test/directory: cd /test/directory you can use this as the "root" for your local image, so typing pkg status -a should show all the packages on the server You can also have one "global" image, so every time you will type pkg(1) you will be using this default one. So first create image and than use it. With John Hawk we are working on the GUI tool for those things, so they will be very easy to use. If you want to see our work, which is not finished yet, so expect few problems, you can try to get it from: svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/jds/ipsgui ipsgui and than run script ipsgui/ipsgui hope this helps Michal Pryc Anoop Rajendra wrote: > Hi. > > I was trying to understand the new Image based packaging system, and I > had some questions. > > I started a new pkg repository server on my local machine to serve out > packages.
