[advocacy-discuss] Setting up local IPS server mirror

[Ben Wu]

Thanks a lot to all of your replies! For the moment, I will try to set 
up an IPS server to contain the available pkgs. When the mirroring 
functionality is ready on pkg.opensolaris.org, let's do the mirroring.

Before the mirroring functionality is ready, does the syncing of the 
packages need to be done manually? Is there a better/faster way to do 
the pkg syncing from one IPS server to another?

Thanks,
Ben
