I missed looking at this before hand. Let me check this out before we
go further. But I would point out that SMF service is fine. Its the
tarball/rsync process to get the bits that worrying. It would be good
to make the creation of the local repo simple without needing to
download the repo using rsync etc. It would be good for end users
if they can point the pkg command to (say OI) origin server and clone
the entire repo which start the SMF services etc under the cover
(maybe as an option). Perhaps you have already done this or headed in
this direction. Again, I am not the target for this. The target is the
end user who doesn't even know what rsync is. Think Ubuntu in this
sense.
Sorry, not even Ubuntu provides any tools to create a local repo that I
know of for an end user. apt-mirror is terminal based and is targeted at
the sys admin, not the end user.
I am not sure what your idea is in this regard...allow a person to
create a local repo at home and then use it for installing the rest of
the computers in the home?
