IPS on Al's Ramblings

Puppet 3 and Solaris 11 IPS

A recent post Solaris Packages for Puppet 3.0.0-rc7, Facter 1.6.0 and Hiera 1.0.0 on a puppet mailing list caught my eye.

While gems has a nifty little package management system of it’s own, it is possible be that your machines do not have direct access to the interent so having a local IPS repo is handy. I’ll demonstrate how to add these packages to you own repository. This assumes you have already setup your own local repo.

How to create Mulitple Solaris Repositories

Solaris 11 repo setup but you want to have your own repo serving up own home grown packages, separate from your main Solaris 11 image repository. Actually I’d like an extra two repo’s I want a dev repo that to test my packaging abilities and a “release” one when I’m ready to publish. Mostly becuase there doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to remove packages from a repo and my packaging skills are work in progress.
