are the following operations equivalent in the current proposal?
1. Direct URL
pkg set-authority -A http://pkg.opensolaris.org/authority/0
2. From downloaded file
curl http://pkg.opensolaris.org/authority/0 > myauth.p5i
pkg set-authority -A ./myauth.p5i
(They need to be.)
That was my intention.
However, I should note that my plan was to first implement the authority
APIs and then make the changes for the authority/0 operation and the
code to parse/export it as a follow-up.
Before I can implement authority/0 though, there are some things I need
confirmed:
* That it is ok to implement as we discussed in the authority/0 thread
on 12/23/2008.
* Whether multiple authorities can be present in the output of authority/0.
* That it's going to be ok to backpublish SUNWpython24-simplejson when
we backpublish SUNWipkg so that the json dependency can be satisfied for
older builds.
Based on your answer, I'd be happy to send out a short summary of what
the direction going forward is.
Cheers,
