I tried to adapt the pointers to the new public pkgsrc repo at  "https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/packages/SmartOS/trunk/&quot; like so:

# rsync -n rsync://pkgsrc.
smartos.org/packages/SmartOS/trunk/  /tank/pkgsrc_mirror

but it barfs with:

@ERROR: Unknown module 'packages'


If you run rsync in browse mode you can see what the remote offers:

  $ rsync rsync://pkgsrc.smartos.org
  pkgsrc          https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/

So instead of /packages use /pkgsrc:

  $ rsync rsync://pkgsrc.smartos.org/pkgsrc
  drwxr-xr-x             15 2025/11/14 08:35:53 .
  -rw-r--r--          5,018 2022/07/15 16:04:27 favicon.ico
  ...

and that'll eventually lead you to:

  rsync://pkgsrc.smartos.org/pkgsrc/packages/SmartOS/trunk/


Would it be possible to provide a more detailed write-up on how to get  such mirror set up?
I would expect such page to exist at the main wiki here:
https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgsrc/wiki
but
 I suppose this matter has never had much priority to get  documented properly. Which I can understand!

I'll take a look at adding this.

Thanks,
