Hi Folks,
Is there a pointer to any background reading material on this feature?
Thanks,

Hi there,
If anyone's interested in following along with the system publisher work
that Brock and myself are doing, we've got a hg repository at:
ssh://[email protected]/hg/pkg/sysrepo-gate
Thanks Danek for setting that up.
This is a work-in-progress project-gate, and as such has not been
code-reviewed or tested in depth. It may not work, may damage your
machine and may insult your neighbours (enough disclaimers?)
The sysrepo work in general is captured by the following bugs:
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/buglist.cgi?&status_whiteboard=sysrepo
At the time of writing, there's just the basics of the server-side code
in the gate. Having built the gate, here's how to try it:
% pkg install pkg/sysrepo
% svcadm enable system/pkg/sysrepo
This should give you an apache instance running on port 15000.
That instance is automatically configured to provide services as a http
proxy, proxying local requests to all configured and enabled publishers
on your system (it can proxy http requests across to https://
repositories using the keys and certificates configured on your system)
It also provides direct http access to file:// repositories, so for
example, we can do:
timf@linn[204] pkg publisher pkg5-nightly
Publisher: pkg5-nightly

For normal http:// access to file:// repositories, you're still better off
using the standard pkg.depotd server - performance is a little slower at
the moment using apache, and it doesn't provide all of the features that
the pkg.depotd does (notably, search is unavailable)
We don't have a notification alias for pushes to the
sysrepo-gate, but let me know if you're interested in getting
notification and I'll see what I can do.
cheers,
tim
