Cyril,
This script republishes packages rather than copying them. Republishing
means that each package gets a new timestamp in the FMRI. If you try to
take a 2008.05 installed system and point it at a mirror created in this
way, the packaging system will be unable to find any of the packages
that it already has installed in the mirror because they will not
exist. For example,
pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.86:20080426T180125Z
is already in the pkg.opensolaris.org repository. When this script
runs, you end up with something like this in the new repository:
pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.86:20080520T120410Z
A "pkg image-update" would need to download all of the manifests in
order to get things synced up.
The reason for this is that "pkgsend open", even with a complete FMRI,
still chooses a new timestamp.

Hi,
I recently needed a local mirror of pkg.opensolaris.org for some
off-line demo. So I check the new pkgrecv utility - it appears to be a
nice building block. I quickly hacked a pkgsync script (attached)
around pkgrecv/pkgsend pair to mirror the upstream repository into a
local one. Comments are welcome.
