Hello folks,
i have opensolaris 2010.02 dev release installed on a system and want to
set it up as a pkg repository, mostly to save on bandwidth for updates
of various XVM builds.
the instructions at
<http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+pkg/Mirroring> seem a
little out-of-date & i wondered if someone could point me to more
current information.
in particular, i'm trying to figure out why the "mirroring repositories"
doc talks about deploying a second instance of the packaging server?
it appears that on my snv_126 opensolaris system i have various
/var/pkg/* , but the pkg.depotd default repository /var/pkg/repo doesn't
exist.
is the presumed default set-up as follows:
1. create directory:
# mkdir /var/pkg.repo
2. create repository:
# pkgsend -s file:///var/pkg/repo create-repository
3. mirror existing packages:
# rmdir /var/pkg/repo/file
# ln -s /var/pkg/download /var/pkg/repo/file
4. start pkg server:
# svcadm enable pkg/server
or is there something else to consider? is the read-only nature of the
"second instance" mentioned in the document above relevant [still] ?
simply starting the pkg/server service creates the /var/pkg/repo
directory & structure, but not actual data...
any suggestions?
p
