Hello
I've added the mirror entry to the manifest and released it with
installadm, the entry is this:
<ai_pkg_repo_default_authority>
<main url="http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/";
authname="opensolaris.org"/>
<mirror url="http://pkg.digicompci.ch"/>
</ai_pkg_repo_default_authority>
the cfg_cache on the client (/a/var/pkg/cfg_cache) looks like this:
[filter]
[authority_opensolaris.org]
origin = http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
ssl_key = None
ssl_cert = None
uuid = c934db5e-e31e-11dd-8075-001e4ff428c4
mirrors = []
prefix = opensolaris.org
[property]
send-uuid = False
require-optional = False
flush-content-cache-on-success = False
display-copyrights = True
preferred-authority = opensolaris.org
pursue-latest = True
so it does not add the mirror, but the origin got changed to /dev/ ... any
idea why it does not?
thanks in advance & regards

Your understanding is approximately right. To use the mirror, set the
mirror url property in your AI manifest to point at your mirror, and use
pkg.opensolaris.org/dev as the main url. pkg.opensolaris.org will still
be contacted to pull the package catalog and construct the lists of
files to be installed, but the actual file data will be pulled from your
mirror.
