While trying to help unbundled folks get into different repos, it's become pretty clear that the following approach would make life much simpler for everyone, since it gets all the different repos to have unbundled pkgs w/ exactly the same timestamps:
1) publish unbundled pkgs (openoffice, studio, netbeans, etc) into empty repo file:///... 2) cpio resulting pkg & file directories into different repo structures w/ pkg/server disabled and now the tricky part: 3) restart pkg/server and convince it to rebuild index & catalog w/o causing everyone in the world to redownload the entire catalog or run into other problems. I know just blowing away catalog and index and restarting works, but there are concerns about what happens to the update log. What's the right way of doing this? - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [email protected] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
