The page you link to is just showing how to create your own repository copy of the OpenSolaris 2008.x distribution (before we had rsync), or how to do it if you are wanting to import a new OpenSolaris build into a pkg(5) repository. If you just want to create your own packages and publish them, you don't need SWAN access. If you want to mirror the pkg.opensolaris.org/dev repository to speed up local distribution constructor access, you don't need SWAN access. My guess is that you just need to follow the mirroring instructions because you just want faster access to the repository content for a distribution constructor session. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
