That's one way to do it, although I think Shawn has a more comprehensive scheme for file://-based repository URLs. Anyway, this putback lets us go further $ hg log --debug -r 461 changeset: 461:37cf3ac75e3794824f1cd39df6062db7e66dc29a parent: 460:784509473aca3d96261473cff130a8a590ce37b7 parent: -1:0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 manifest: 461:0512086cba2e25563848ac5da0d8f19d0fb382a5 user: johansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> date: Fri Aug 15 14:03:49 2008 -0700 files: src/client.py src/depot.py src/modules/client/filelist.py src/modules/client/image.py src/modules/client/imageconfig.py src/modules/client/retrieve.py src/modules/depotcontroller.py src/modules/misc.py src/modules/server/config.py src/modules/server/repository.py src/modules/server/transaction.py src/tests/baseline.txt src/tests/cli/t_commandline.py src/tests/cli/t_depotcontroller.py files+: src/modules/pkggzip.py extra: branch=default description: 1018 actions with payloads should include all sizes and hashes 1461 depot should ignore requests for absent files 2227 File action should verify its checksums 2261 Support mirroring of package content 2285 Versions lists unavailable operations 2330 Imageconfig incorrectly parses boolean config options This means that a client can add mirrors to each authority they specify, and their content retrievals will spread out among the mirrors. I believe that, even in the initial putback, mirrors are preferred over the original repository, so one can add a local mirror. Catalogs and manifests are still retrieved from the original repository, and will be until we have signing and signature verification in place. Dan and I will be setting up an anonymous rsync service so that the file content can be mirrored. Details on this will be provided when we've got it working, or shortly thereafter. (I suppose it's possible the details might come out slightly before... Apologies in advance.) Comments on rsync best practices are welcome, of course. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
