It seems like it would potentially be a nice thing for an institution to set up one master repository, pkg.yourcomany.com, and then allow different departments to manage their own sections of it, whether for public or private reasons.

However... I cant seem to find any documentation along these lines.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E21803
doesnt say much about use of pkgsend. I've had more luck with random pages on the internet

Unfortunately, there seems to be an actual code level issue in the way of nice cooperation between publisher areas.

I did a trial run, creating a repo initually as a regular user, with publisher 'x'.
I then added a file, *as root*, self-described as publisher 'y'

I then tried to update the original file, as a regular user.

Problem....

  pkgsend: Could not operate on (home)/testrepo/publisher/y/tmp/lock
  because of insufficient permissions. Please try the command again as a
  privileged user.

Bug in pkgsend, leaving lock files around?

The really annoying thing is, even if I REMOVE that file... it still complains about it if I try the pkgsend again.


Am I missing something here, or is it just that no provision has been made for clean delegation of different publisher areas?
