there is currently no RFE filed for the system repo. i'll get an RFE filed on this. the system repo is a requirement for secure zones upgrade. theoretically the system repo could run over any transport, but domain sockets is a natural choice for supporting zones since it doesn't make any assumptions about the network configuration associated with zones. (scratch zones have no networking, and there's no guarantee that regular zones will have network access to the global zone.) ed _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
