[pkg-discuss] Unable to install .p5p package in global zones in Solaris 11
Sudhir Harikant
I have few zones configured on my Solaris 11 node which are up and running. Our product is provided in a .p5p archive package which i need to install in my global zone as well as the non-global zones. I dont want to use a network based repository for the installation.
When i try to install the package it gives me the below error
"pkg install: The proposed operation on this parent image can not be performed because
temporary origins were specified and this image has children. Please either
retry the operation again without specifying any temporary origins, or if
packages from additional origins are required, please configure those origins
persistently."
1. How to install a .p5p package without a network based repository ?
2. Is it possible to install packages from the global zone to non-global zones without having to log on to each of the zones ?
TIA,
Sudhir

Temporary origins are not supported with zones, as the error message
mentioned. Furthermore, p5p files are also not yet supported with zones.
If you convert the p5p file to a file-based repository first, then add
it as a persistent publisher to your system in the global zone eg.
$ pkgrepo create filerepo
$ pkgrecv -s file.p5p -d filerepo
# pkg set-publisher -p ./filerepo
it will work. The file repository will automatically be made available
to all non-global zones.

Currently, no. It is possible to ensure that the version of a package
in the global zone is the same as the one in each non-global zone
however, which is probably worth doing

origins don't currently work together. The current workaround is to
unpack the archive package and set it up as a permanently configured
file repo in the global zone instead. There are bugs filed on both these
issues.

Not at this time as far as I know. Depending on how desperate you are to
have this, and as long as you want to install the same packages in all
the zones, I think there's a way you could do things so that you only
had to log into each zone once to set things up. If you're interested
let me know and I'll sketch out what I have in mind.

Do you have a bug number for this? Any idea when this is targeted to be fixed?
thanks

Yep, it's 7140764 pkg.sysrepo should support p5p files
Much of the work on the IPS side is done, I'm mostly waiting on
paperwork at this stage.

There is currently no set target for supporting temporary origins when
zones are present. That was a known limitation going in and that is why
the client exits gracefully with a specific message.
However, as Tim pointed out, p5p support is in progress already, so
you'll be able to configure those as a persistent source.

What if you don't consider your p5ps to be temporary? :-)
(I'm not really expecting an answer to this!)
thanks for the info

1. This is the first time our product is getting shipped for Solaris 11 support and we wanted to ship our product with our existing installer so that uses DVD location for source. We are already talking internally on how we can use the network based repository in our coming releases.
2. The steps that you have provided to create a file based repository works fine, but I still cannot install packages in the non-global as the publisher is not seen in the non-global zone.
The repository and proxy service is running in the global zone.
Non-Global zone
