We've provisioned a second server group at a different site in North America, with release/, dev/, and contrib/ available under
http://pkg-na-2.opensolaris.org/ For instance, you can use # pkg set-publisher -m http://pkg-na-2.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org to add this second location as a content mirror for the dev/ repository. On the current dev/ branch, you can use -g to add this repository as an additional origin for the opensolaris.org publisher. A content mirror provides only package data, while an origin can provide both package data and metadata (such as a catalog). In Package Manager, this functionality is available via the "File > Manage Publishers" dialog. You add a mirror by selecting a publisher, selecting Modify, and then selecting a repository in the resulting "Modify Publisher" dialog, and then adding a mirror. (If you're curious to see the effect of adding a mirror or second origin, then you can set PKG_DUMP_STATS to 1 in your environment, prior to running a "pkg install" or "pkg image-update". We'd be interested in seeing the statistics output, if you're able to share.) Happy downloading. - Stephen -- [email protected] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
