- Mid-level choice: streams from any given publisher
Interestingly, this could allow us to have /dev and /release streams
for the base OS, and also have /dev and /release streams for the
community contributed, non-ARCed/integrated content. Thus /pending
could disappear and become instead the /dev stream of the
"OpenSolaris Contrib Community" publisher.
The desired process for populating these repositories as I understand
it doesn't really work for this.
There's no technical difference between this and having contrib/release
as streams of the "community" publisher. By that I mean that "dev" and
"release" are not "special" names or tokens. They're simply names,
chosen because they convey appropriate implications about the content
they deliver.
The technical difference is in the management of the repository itself.
In the case of pending, it is constantly rebuilt to fit the build
model that the sourcejuicer project has adopted from what I understand.
You are correct that there are no inherent technical obstacles in
pkg(5) itself, so it's mainly a project issue.
