"To switch your system to the in-development release of OpenSolaris (the "dev" release), you can issue the following commands:
$ pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org $ pfexec pkg image-update" A long time ago when first looking at OpenSolaris, I did $ pfexec pkg set-publisher -P -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev dev and have been working like this ever since, with no apparent ill-effects. > pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI dev (preferred) origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ contrib.opensolaris.org origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib/ extra origin online https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra/ opensolaris.org origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80/ release origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ vermillion origin online http://jucr.opensolaris.org/vermillion/ > I see people recommending that you not do this, but rather change the URI of the opensolaris.org publisher, but I haven't seen why. I thought the point was that you could have a list of publishers, and flip between them. Is there something magic about a publisher called opensolaris.org, or does it confuse things to have two publishers with similar packages ? What am I letting myself in for ? Just curious.
