Mostly it's pointless because you'd be wasting a lot of cycles using HTTP to access a local resource. > Shawn, I think, is planning on implementing this and allowing > packages to be installed without having a depot server. > http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2660 Yes, I pointed out that this was being discussed. A filesystem-based depot would effectively be an on-disk format. But it could still hide the details from the developer (who might still have to use pkgsend to "submit" the pkg into an on-disk depo).
