Hi,
Problem:
At current time the only method of installation for opensolaris-2009.06-sparc
is AI image, during the isntall process AI requires to download packages from
remote repository
<ai_pkg_repo_default_authority>
<main url="http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release";
authname="opensolaris.org"/>
<mirror url=""/>
and this process is extrimelly slow, it takes me a day to build a box.
Is there a way to setup a content mirror repository on the LAN to speed up installation process ?
I found a document http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/Mirroring/ for
mirroring a delepment packages but looks like it's outdated and I need a to
mirror stable osol-2009.06-sparc release
Hi, those instructions are not outdated, and are still current.
Unfortunately, at this time, a mirror of the release repository is not
available as far as I'm aware. However, since the development
repository contains all of the same files as the release repository,
that shouldn't matter much, though it will be a little inconvenient in
transfer size.
I would go ahead and follow the instructions there to setup a local
content mirror, and see what the performance is like.
In the near future, we should also be releasing an ISO iamge of the
2009.06 release repository that you can use to run a full mirror (not
just content) locally, and only for the 2009.06 release.
Cheers,
