You talk about putting these images on optical media, but never
suggest
how.
That was an exercise I was going to leave to the reader, but I can
include
it if so desired.
I don't care too much; it just seemed like you put a lot of effort
into
helping people put the images on flash media, but after having
mentioned a
DVD, said nothing about cdrw or cdrecord, or the use of double-sided
or
double-layered DVDs that might actually hold the whole thing, etc.
I don't
know that putting this stuff on a DVD makes much sense, but then why
mention it at all?
I didn't provide explicit instructions for the DVD case because I felt
that was a pretty common operation, while dumping an ISO image to a
flash device is decidedly not.
I'm also not certain if cdrecord or cdrw are capable of writing the
resulting 6.6GB iso to a DVD-10 disc.
line 90: <data_source> would be "/destination" from the examples in
sections 2.1 and 2.2?
I used <data_source> since /destination only applies if you copied it
somewhere. If you mounted the image directly, /destination would not
apply.
Right. I just think there should be a more explicit link, since
otherwise
it seems like you're either just randomly changing from /destination
to
<data_source> or that it would not be correct to simply use /
destination if
you'd been following the example.
Suggestions?
If it isn't running OpenSolaris, there's a good chance the mount
instructions won't work either.
If they are running OpenSolaris, pfexec is setup by default, and only
wouldn't be if they had changed configuration.
If they're running S10 or SXCE, the basic commands will work, but
pfexec
won't be set up appropriately. And if someone is setting up
OpenSolaris on
their internal network for the first time, they might be running these
other OSes, but not have an OpenSolaris system yet.
Actually, the mount -F hsfs iso only works after a certain build, so
it would depend on which version of Solaris 10 they're using, etc. On
certain versions, you'd have to use lofiadm and then mount it. But I
wanted to use the easier route because I wanted to assume they were
using OpenSolaris 2009.x.
I don't remember which build delivered the mount support for iso
images directly without the use of lofi.

line 7: since the README primarily suggests setting the depot up
as an
origin server, calling it a mirror here doesn't seem right. Same
on line
28, I guess.
I think that's just semantics really, since it can be used as a
"mirror" in
either case. What differentiation here would make this distinction
satisfactory or clearer?
I'd just drop "Mirror" entirely -- pkg.opensolaris.org/dev can be
either an
origin or a mirror, but presumably we don't call it a mirror by
default.
mirror here is referring to the usage of the depot server they are
setting up based on client configuration, not pkg.opensolaris.org/dev.
So, why would I drop mirror?
