I am interested in using opensolaris on an isolated network. It would make life easier if I could have a mirror of pkg.opensolaris.org on the isolated network. I already do a similar thing with ubuntu using apt-mirror and a handful of small scripts to sneakernet updates. There doesn't seem to be an easy solution for opensolaris.
I found http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+pkg/Mirroring but at the bottom of the page it says "the mirror doesn't know anything about the packages (or repository) it is serving. The client still relies on the origin server for metadata and remote search." Not exactly encouraging. Also it looks like the rsync solution only works for dev, I can't mirror release. At a bare minimum I need just a handful of packages (e.g. gcc) and their dependencies, but I can't even figure out how to just download individual package files. I get to the point of downloading a .p5i file, but that is just a small text file without an obvious link to the real package. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
