Aha.. well, that certainly is good news.
but what of simple updates?
I definitely am interested in the whole concept of
- configure URL http:/xxxx as source of package(s)
- every once in a while, run pkg update
In which case you really want to use either the existing pkg.depot, or
wait for the Apache based depot, or roll your own httpd.conf today (if
you have an S11 system with zones and file-based repositories configured
locally, then you've already got a httpd.conf fragment on your system
that does most of the work)
Perhaps I can make a suggestion for the p5p format.
If you make it so that the version somehow easily appear from the file, with
an HTTP HEAD operation or whatever, and then allow the client side to store
per-package url information easily, it could be useful for vendors who have
only 1 or 2 software packages, to more easily offer to their customers an
auto-update capability for IPS packages.
I don't understand how this improves things over either the existing
pkg.depotd, or simple HTTP access to a custom Apache instance as
described above.
