[indiana-discuss] Updated packages available for 2008.05

[Steve Christensen]

Stephen -

I did a clean install of 2008.05 rc2a with no problems.   Following your instructions, I wanted to see if my Companion CD repository would work  with the package manager.  I did

pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000 sunfreeware.com

pfexec pkg refresh

both as root.   Then I started the package manager program and the above repository was found and the packages appear under the All category correctly.  I tried some individual package installs and they do install in /opt/sfw as they should and dependencies are found.

I did note two problems which I am not sure are with my repository or the package manager.   If, for example, I try to do an install of the IPSFWcddk - which has a number of dependencies - the download eventually freezes.  26828 KB is supposed to be downloaded, but it stops  at 7892 and stays there.   I also tried to select all the packages and install them all at once, but that froze also.

If this is a problem with my repository or packages, I would like to fix them.  If not, maybe this is some other issue.

Very nice tool though.  Looking forward to using it and building packages for it.

Steve C.
