Hi Steve, (reposting to the list as I hit the wrong key a moment ago…)
> What I really need to be able to do is wget the dev repo somehow. Any > suggestions? You may want to try the script at http://cr.opensolaris.org/~e.p/pkgmirror/ and see if it works for you. Please read the beginning and configure it appropriately (and don't forget to copy pull.py, or /usr/bin/pkgrecv as pull.py, into the same directory). A few notes: 1. it's ugly and it will break with future versions, but it works for me, and if it doesn't for you, I'm willing to try to fix it :) 2. by default it doesn't hit pkg.opensolaris.org; rather, it uses my own mirror. I encourage you to leave it that way (so that it doesn't put any load on pkg.o.o); the bandwidth should be decent, but be aware that currently only b127 is on my own mirror. I do plan to keep it updated when new releases are published. 3. if you list under LOCAL_CACHES the "file" subdirectories of local repos, or the caches that are being used on your system (such as /var/pkg/download), you'll be able to shave off a few downloads; 4. it puts as little strain as possible on the source machine. It tries to just download the catalog once, and each individual manifest. It does put some strain on the local machine, since it has to republish each package (decompression and recompression). In this regard it's much, much less efficient than rsync.
