to be honest, I don't know. I use the path of least resistance - tar the repo, upload, launch the server. Done in 1 minute (plust the time for tar, copy, untar). AFAIK it was never really tested to publish into the bsd port of ips. also I believe it's still not possible to safely remove packages from a repository which is a serious drawback IMO. Really I wish the guys would finally come up with an on-disk format so that we could store the packages on a regular http/ftp server instead. > > Michael > -- > Michael Schuster ? ? ? ?http://blogs.sun.com/recursion > Recursion, n.: see 'Recursion' >
