I have a few questions about repository maintenance that
I cannot find answers to (at least ones I can understand)
in the discussion or documentation so far.

1.  I created the

http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000

repository for the x86 Companion CD packages a while back
using solaris.py and it seems to work so far.  Now, I have a
number of updates to these packages I want to do.  What is the
current best procedure for updating a given package?

If I want to update the IPSFWxterm package, for example, is it
just

pkgsend -s http://localhost:9000 send IPSFWxterm

I saw the "How to replace a package ..." discussion a while back, but
I am not sure that answered this question.   Should I just
remove the old repository and replace it using solaris.py again instead
of trying to update packages one at a time?   If I do that, will an
end user get the new IPSFWxterm package if the do a pkg install?

2.  Is there a procedure for installing and running two or more separate 
repositories on one server?   I know I could put all packages in one 
repository, but would rather keep, hypothetically, SPARC and x86 
packages in different repositories, say on ports 9000 and 9001 respectively.

Thanks,

Steve C.
