Hi Shawn,

The install team needs your help. We would like to setup and test
using an IPS repo on a disk for our upcoming Caiman project work
scheduled for 2010.02. The assumptions we are making is that IPS
repo on a disk means:
-HTTP is not used as the transport
This is likely a safe assumption.
-An IPS repo on a disk is different than creating or having a mirror
of a repo.
It is too early to say whether this will be correct or not, but at
this time, it is not.
Are these assumptions correct?
They may be at some point, but as we've mentioned many times before,
the design for the on-disk format has not started yet.
If they are, is there a way to setup an IPS repo on say a DVD that
can be used locally that is different from mirroring as defined:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/Mirroring/
There will be at some point, but the work hasn't started yet.
Thank you for your help. The idea is that we want to package a repo
with our media so that our installers, specifically the text based
installer, can do an IPS installation without requiring a network
connection. And, for improved performance.
I believe you will be able to do this at some point, but we do not
have a project schedule for it yet.
Ok, thanks for the info.
Cheers,
