TABLE 10-4. PUBLISHING A PACKAGE

RHEL ORACLE SOLARIS 11

Once the package is ready, it can be published on

a Web server so it can be downloaded by end

users like any other download.

Suppose we have a repository named example.com.

To publish the package, ensure that it is read/write, not the default (read-

only). To accomplish this, run the following command:

oracle@solaris_11:~/work $ svccfg -s pkg/server setprop

pkg/readonly=false

Restart the server for the changes to take effect:

oracle@solaris_11:~/work $ svcadm restart

pkg/server:default

To publish the package, use the following command:

oracle@solaris_11:~/work $ pkgsend publish -s

http://example.com:9001 -d ./proto_inst

my_sample_depend

PUBLISHED

Now the package has successfully been published.

We can now check the status of our repository again to determine whether

our package got published:

oracle@solaris_11:~/work $ pkgrepo info -s

http://example.com:9001
