Hi there,
I've got a code review here that delivers an SMF service which
periodically updates a local pkg(5) repository from one or more origins.
In order for a user to run this service, the minimum they have to do is:
# pkgrepo create /some/repodir
# chown -R pkg5srv /some/repodir
# svccfg -s mirror setprop config/repository = /some/repodir
# svccfg -s mirror refresh
# svcadm enable mirror
Each instance of the service will pkgrecv to a single local repository,
but the user is free to create as many instances of the service as they
wish, so long as each maps to a different local repository.
Because cron and SMF aren't well-integrated at the moment, the logging
is split between the following locations:
/var/svc/log/application-pkg-mirror:<instance>.log
/var/log/pkg/mirror/mirror.<instance>.log
The service runs as 'pkg5srv', and as a result this changeset changes
the account type for pkg5srv from being locked to being a no-login
account so that it can run cron-jobs.
I haven't written documentation other than the comments in the SMF
manifest - I think we probably should reference this from pkgrecv(1)
There's a webrev at:
https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/pkg/timf/periodic-pkgrecv/periodic-recv-webrev/
comments would be most welcome (though a quick reminder that I'll be on
vacation from the 14th-25th Jan, so I might need to address comments
once I'm back in the office)
cheers,
tim
