There are three distinct entities, publishers, streams, and

distributions, sign packages, etc... Specifically, they distribute
one or more streams (or trains or whatever term we settle on. dev and
release are two examples of streams for the opensolaris.org
publisher.). Repositories are simply collections of packages,
possibly from multiple publishers and multiple streams from those
publishers.
About repositories - first, I'm assuming that there is a distinction
between a pkg.depotd process and a repository. A repository would be
identified by a unique URL, but a pkg.depotd process might eventually
service multiple repositories. Is that right?
No, I think we're suggesting moving to a model where there's a
one-to-one mapping between pkg.depotd process and a repository. But that
depo/repo/process might serve up packages from many streams and many
publishers.
A single depot is intended at some point in the future to serve multiple
repositories. But that doesn't really have any effect on what is
proposed here since a repository has a specific URI (location).
