With FSFS repositories, yes, it will work if you copy the files onto the new system from the network store (it might not if you try to mount a disk from the old system on the new system directly, then it depends on OS filesystem support and endianness handling).
They are FSFS; however, if endianness is *ever* an issue, then it'll *always* be an issue, surely?
If it's currently a big-endian SPARC, and I merely copy the repo. dirs. onto a little-endian x86, if endianness is a problem then that won't work.
All I have is: $ uname -a SunOS hostname 5.10 Generic_139555-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 .. and that doesn't really help me! -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit
