Review comments on behalf of community member via Dan Price...

=================================
A community member via IRC let me know about a bug in this
doc:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/reviews/GSG_200906_Review.pdf

As I looked at it, I spotted some more problems.  On page 44:

REPOSITORY URL                          REPOSITORY DESCRIPTION       
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/support      Contains newer versions of packages
                                        that are regularly updated, based
                                        on the discovery and remedy of defects
                                        in the released product

http://pkg.opensolaris.org/extra        Contains software that is
                                        available under end-user
                                        license terms that does
                                        not allow further distribution.


The URLS are very wrong:

        https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/support
            ^       ^^^     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra
            ^       ^^^    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Also, no mention of the need for a cert/key pair for extra.

In general, this text seems a bit off, as it says:

"The Package Manager connects to networked repositories to access software
packages. You can start by going to https://pkg.sun.com/. Log in with your Sun
ID and password to access encumbered packages. If you do not have a Sun ID and
password, you can register for an online account on this site."

Which doesn't quite seem like the way to "start" to me...
