Thank you to Eric Sproul (now of Circonus)! Here's his good news: . . .
Good news everyone! As many of you are aware, the current practice for core OmniOS packaging is to separate packages for a given release into their own repository. This was prompted by all the headaches caused when r151008 packages were added to the release repo where r151006 (and earlier) lived. As of about an hour ago, I have split out the r151008 packages from http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/release/ into http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/r151008/ . The good news is that LTS users now no longer need to take extraordinary measures to stay on r151006. We'll be updating the documentation shortly. If you've already done the pkg freeze stuff, you can either leave it in place and plan to remove it when you're ready to upgrade to the next LTS, or go ahead and remove it now. Either way, you will never again see post-r151006 packages in the /omnios/release/ location. Since r151008 is EOL this is essentially just an archival operation-- no new packages will ever be published for this release. Those still running r151008 (pro tip: you should upgrade!) will no longer be able to install any existing packages unless you switch publisher URLs: pkg set-publisher -G <existing-release-url> -g <new-008-url-above> omnios . . . I will reiterate the protip mentioned earlier. You should not be running 008 anywhere anymore. Thanks again to Eric!
