Our man page for pkg.depotd currently states that:
--readonly Modifying operations, such as those
initiated by pkgsend(1M) are disabled.
Retrieval operations are still
available.
To me, that would *not* include things such as:
* Rebuilding indexes
* Updating configuration information
* Generating the RSS feed cache
In short, I consider readonly to only be a restriction of publishing
APIs and not of other, expected depot operations.
Examples:
* The RSS feed, for efficiency (and other reasons), depends upon the
ability to generate a cache of the feed it generates the first time the
feed is requested. It creates a feed.xml file in the inst_dir of the depot.
* Restricting configuration changes would be especially problematic as
those are intended to be exposed via SMF, and as such, values are
expected to change in the cfg_cache during the startup phase to reflect
the new values in SMF.
