Yup, looks like a good location indeed (we might think about linking it
somewhere from the CSW wiki though, or is it possible to integrate other
wikidot pages into the search results?).

Peter, what do you think adding a short paragraph on how to build a
local offline repository (containing a subset of CSW packages) with
pkgutil and cswcatalog [1]?

* pkgutil -T <arch>:<osrel> -d <pkgs>
* magically transport pkgs to offline site
* cswcatalog --pkgdir <dir_with_pkgs> --repodir <basedir_for_repo>

Regarding --stream, my usual use case for --stream would be a single
offline host installation, not quite sure whether it makes sense when
building an offline repository which is to be used for multiple hosts.
