blastwave
pkg set-authority -O http://blastwave.network.com:10000 blastwave 1700 packages from the popular blastwave servers

OpenSolaris mirror China university(CERNET)
pkg set-authority -O http://pkg-edu.unix-center.net:80 OSOL-China-Cernet An OpenSolaris mirror IPS repository in the university network CERNET

OpenSolaris China public mirror
pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.unix-center.net:80 OSOL-China A public accessible mirror of the OpenSolaris repository for public usage in China

Hudson Project (Building and monitoring of Java projects)
pkg set-authority -O http://hudson.gotdns.com/ips hudson Hudson monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron from Koshuke Kawaguchi

Well, which exact OS, and binary or sourcecode? Sourceforge is the start for a lot of source! For hpux binaries, I use Porting And Archive Centre For HP-UX. For binaries, you want a very trusted source if you can find one. Compiling your own has challenges, but you then have the ability to tweak and contribute if you have a special need, an choose the kind of optimization you want.

Looking at your list, I assume you are looking for Solaris packages. Is this correct?

Good point, pkg is binary, Solaris: Oracle, then Sunfreeware - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Sun Microsystem's Solaris

Does good mean many, most popular packages or high trust?
