The depot is working fine for now, but is running depo bits from prior 
to the 2008.11 release. We are in the process of removing version 0 of 
search (it's being discussed on pkg-discuss at opensolaris.org right now). 
Once that removal is completed, users will no longer be able to search 
your repo. We've also put in a massive amount of work making the depot 
webpage more appealing and configurable as well as improving search, the 
ability to configure the depot, and probably a bunch of other features 
I've forgotten at the moment. If you're running your depot on an open 
solaris system, simply run an image update (modulo any applicable 
release notes which may apply depending on the version you're running) 
and you'll get the new depot software. There have been several flag days 
in the roughly 9 months to a year since the version you're running was 
released, so asking for advice on pkg-discuss might make the transition 
easier.
