publisher.prefix is required

pkg.depotd: repository configuration error: publisher.prefix is required

Standing a new IPS server , don't forget to set the publisher.prefix. A lot of blog posts and doco pre-dates this addition

pfexec svccfg -s pkg/server "setprop pkg/port=10000"

pfexec svccfg -s pkg/server "setprop pkg/inst_root=/export/ipsrepo"

pkgsend -s file:///export/ipsrepo create-repository --set-property publisher.prefix=myrepo

pfexec svcadm enable pkg/server

pfexec svcadm restart pkg/server

Tick with no Toc

I've had an ongoing long running battle at a place of employment trying to get the folks that look after the user accounts to understand the difference between non login accounts, lock accounts, and accounts with expired passwords specifically the impact that has on Solaris Cron.

Well notch one up to the good guys I think I had a win today, and it reminded me of this post from Glenn Brunette

Transmission resumed

Ok a transmission revisit. Everything has been going along mostly ok with my previous transmission setup. It does however have the annoying habit of just no longer accepting request at random intervals, which franky is a pain especial since flexget has worked out so well. It's still running on OpenSolaris as I have not moved to Nexenta. So I rebuilt the packages and updated to version 2.10. I have put together some IPS packages for transmission 2.10 and libevent 1.4.13. If there is any interest I can open up my IPS server or drop them somewhere more accessible. They Should run on Open Indiana also.

Blogger driod test

Intent is to publish updates of the next trip on here to keep every one up to date on what is happening so I need to test some software.
