I'm currently running OS 11/2008 and would like to upgrade to build 108.
I'm trying to add in the development repository into Package Manager
and can't.
I'm using this URL: http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
The Add button remains Greyed Out. Do I need to add a port number
like the SunFreeware repository? http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
Or do I have to specify which version I want?
The pkg.opensolaris.org/dev page shows 0.5.11-0.108 as the current
release. If I was to select this as the repository, if I could, and
then click on the Update All button wouldn't this do the trick? AND
also create a new BE so I could roll back?
Thanks in Advance

Hi
I think you are having the same problem I had.
What is output of "pkg authority"?
This was the recipe to solve the issue:
It's because, although you've added dev/, you've not made it the
preferred authority for your opensolaris.org packages.
pfexec pkg unset-authority Dev
pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
opensolaris.org
pfexec pkg refresh --full
should get you onto the development builds.

Here's how I'm set:
->pkg authority
AUTHORITY URL
SunFreeware http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
In my case I can't add /dev at all. If I could then I'd make it the
preferred repository...
Funny thing as I'm reading your e-mail I decided to try again and it
seems to work now...
->pkg authority
AUTHORITY URL
SunFreeware http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
OpenSolaris.org.Dev http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
->
It looks like it's being finicky about the NAME... I had been using
'Open Solaris Dev'
There are a set of rules about what characters are allowed in the name.
Spaces are one of the characters that are not allowed.
