[OpenIndiana-discuss] Questions about /var/pkg

[Till Wegmueller]

Hi,

 From personal experience, Yes this data is kind of a cache. It is later 
merged into the publisher independant JSON. However you MUST NOT share 
this between BE's this directory is not safe to go back in time due to 
how partial download and merging works. Do NOT share /var/pkg between BE's
