OpenSolaris Repositories
I created this list of OpenSolaris package repositories since I couldn’t find a more comprehensive list elsewhere.
See http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/package for more information.
Note that a new mirror (pkg-na-2) for pkg.opensolaris.org has been added (for /release, /dev/, and /contrib) and may give you a better pkg experience. Here is how to add it as a mirror (assuming you are using /dev):
# pkg set-publisher -m http://pkg-na-2.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org
If you have any additional ones to add, drop me a note at: bill.hathaway@gmail.com
