Not at the moment, now, but the need is obvious, and we're working on it. > Along the same line, do packages need to be installed from a network > repository, or can they be installed from a file system? They can only be installed from a repo, but you can run a depot server anywhere and point to it. So once you have a place on your filesystem where you have all the right bits (cf local mirroring above), then running a depot isn't a big deal. We'll probably end up making the firing-up of the depot server a hidden thing, but that's probably a ways off still, depending on how fast Shawn goes down that path. Danek
