Can I use that to setup a local repo on S10 then? What do I need on top
of that? Just the actual repo data or more stuff?
Thanks

Volker,
For running pkg(5) on Solaris 10, you might be interested in the
Update Center 2 toolkit images that are here:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/IpsBestPractices/Downloads
The Solaris 10 download includes the pkg(5) commands in a completely
self-contained user image, including a minimized python environment.
When you are done with the image, just remove the top-level directory.
The downloads are available for both SPARC and x86.

This seems to become a FAQ. There should really be a ready-to-pkgadd
SVR4 package for the depot server and its dependencies for S10.
Coupled with a lofi-able repo image, this could make OpenSolaris
deployment very flexible.
Is anybody working on such a thing? If not, maybe I should pick this
up... :-)
When you perform a build of pkg(5), you can easily generate svr4
packages for pkg(5) and all of it's dependencies by just doing a "make
packages".
This sounds good. I really have to try this RSN(tm). :-)
Not having looked at the source, I was under the impression that
"make packages" would produce IPS packages.
As for a lofi-able repo image, I don't see the benefit.
That's just aggregation. You can walk into a site, do some
pkgadds, mount your repo image, and provision client systems.
Once you're done, you pkgrm the software and remove the repo image.
The "transport shape" of the repo is secondary. However, many
people like to cleanly remove things from their infrastructure
servers once the things are no longer needed.
