• Remove Packages from the Repository

Working with IPS ,I realize there is no direct way to remove the packages from the Repository.

# cd /var/pkg/repo/catalog
Edit the catalog file and remove the packages to be removed .

# /usr/lib/pkg.depotd --rebuild 

This refreshes the URL with right Statistics Information as well .

• Publish SVR4 packages to the IPS Repository

# cd /packages 
# pkgsend -s <repository url> send <SVR4 package name> 
EXAMPLE: pkgsend -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack send SUNWmysql5u
