Enabling a Local repo...

Hi...

Next, configure the pkg.depotd(1m) service to use the new configuration
file:

svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop \
pkg/cfg_file=<path_to_your_cfg_cache>

Then, using a text editor of your choice, change the following line in
the above file:

origins = http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release

Replace everything after ' = ', to the end of the line, with the
network-accessible hostname of the system that the depot server will be
hosted on as follows (if you changed the port number above, you would
include it using :<port_number>, after '.com' in the example below):

origins = http://example.com/

There are additional values within the file that you may wish to customize
to provide additional information to packaging clients. Please see "pydoc
pkg.client.publisher" in the "class Repository" section for an explanation
of these properties.

pkg.depotd(1m) can now be started and used for serving packages to pkg(5)
clients by refreshing the corresponding SMF service configuration and
enabling the service:

svcadm refresh application/pkg/server
svcadm enable application/pkg/server

To set clients to use only this depot server to retrieve package content
for the OpenSolaris 2009.06 release, execute the following command on each
client (where <origin> is the value you provided for 'origins' above):

pkg set-publisher -O <origin> opensolaris.org

in http://www.genunix.org/dist/indiana/README.osol-repo

So... my local repo lives in /export/home/alex/my_repo, and i cp /export/home/alex/my_repo/repo/cfg_cache /etc/0906_cfg_cache, and edited like

changing "origins =..." to "origins = iskandhar " ( hostname ) or "origins = /export/home/alex/my_repo " none of these did...

How must I change that file given that my hostname is iskandhar, and my repo lives in /export/home/alex/my_repo...?

You have not complied with the instructions. The example does not contain a simple hostname or a simple path. I would suggest http://localhost/ but I don't know if you need a web server running, or if the depot server takes care of that. If it's anything like yum repos then if you use a path then the protocol must be file:///path/to/local/repo

Hi Smoker

Thkz for your answer, in fact, pacman of ArchLinux works like this...

I have a local repo enabled, which is pointed to in /etc/pacman.conf as file:///mount/my_repo/.../{core community extra}

but i tried this origins=file:///export/home/alex/my_repo in OpenSolaris without any success...

Thx anyway...

Did you try http://localhost/ ?

Hi Smoker...

Not yet... I am away from my Solaris box at the moment...

I will try this as soon as I get back home...

Thx

Hi Again

It was http://localhost allright...

Now, about other repos...

Blastwave packs stuff in SVR4 format... no no good for OpenSolaris...

Are there any more repos packaging stuff in OpenSolaris IPS format...?
