Thanks!
You must have missed the excitement. A couple of the principals had a
shootout and some things are no longer working. Some of the servers are
no longer available, etc, etc.
Oh great. Any idea if any servers are still working?

Browsing to http://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/ there is no "csw".
it seems now you have to choose between "blastwave" and "opencsw"...

Old mirror URL. You want either /pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/
or /pub/packages/solaris/blastwave/, depending on if you want to follow
OpenCSW or Blastwave (I'm using OpenCSW, myself).
Also, Ibiblio is the default mirror, which you may not want to use. If
you're using OpenCSW, you can find the list of mirrors at
<http://www.opencsw.org/mirrors>.
You can change what mirror you're using in /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf
with the `url' directive.

I'm not having luck with either of these, but I may be doing something
stupid. We run pkg-get on a sun sparc with solaris 5.8:
# pkg-get -U

I've never used Blastwave myself but I've read that some of the mirrors
are running.
The links I wrote are for you to go check their websites and learn the
difference between blastwave and opencsw. They should have instructions on
which mirrors to use, respectively.
Then I must be doing something wrong. I tried several mirrors
recommended at the opencsw site and each time pkg-get connects, but
each time it ends with a 404 error. sigh..
Okay, it finally worked with http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/csw/unstable -
thanks for the suggestions!
Would you perhaps post one specific url that "ends with a 404 error"
when you put it in pkg-get.conf?
Do remember that the urls provided are base urls. you need to tack on
either "stable" or "current" to the end of it?
the URL has changed!
I had before:
http://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/csw/unstable
now it work fine with:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/solaris/blastwave/unstable/

Might be, but first you had 'csw' and that is not blastwave.
If you want the same you have to use

I think Blastwave has been restored/repaired/etc several weeks ago --
give it a try.

Give blastwave another try -- it's been fixed/repaired/etc for several
weeks now.
