I'm looking for ideas on how to secure a repository so that it allows 
anonymous downloads but only accepts packages from permitted sources (be 
that specific users or systems).

So far I can't see a ready way to limit how pkg.depotd works in this 
way. It can be run in read-only mode and restarted in read / write mode 
to publish a package, but that just limits the opportunity for 
unauthorised packages to be published.

The other option I've been thinking of is to do something with an Apache 
  front-end, and then to restrict access to the backend pkg.depotd port 
with IP Filter.

Any other thoughts, or have I missed something obvious in the docs :-)

James.
