I have a sparc machine running a minimal version of OpenSolaris b125 (not Nevada b125). I also have the build 127 repository available.
What I do *not* have is an x86 machine to install OpenSolaris and set up as a depot server. These machines are on a closed customer network which cannot be connected to external networks. Is there a way for me to install the packages from the build 127 repository without the use of a depot server? Can I set publisher to be a network accessible filesystem and install packages that way? Or can I somehow just do a pkg install by pointing directly to the package? Once I can get one machine installed with sufficient packages to be a depot server then I won't have this problem, but right now the only way I can get OpenSolaris on sparc is using the image from http://alexeremin.blogspot.com/2009/11/opensolaris-sparc-snv125-livecd.html This provides me with a minimal opensolaris system, and at home I can then point this to the dev repository on opensolaris.org and update/install without a problem. On the customer network I need the repository, or a means to install sufficient packages to allow me to set up a machine as a depot server. Can this be done? Cheers Frank
