Er, why do you have to edit the script? There are -s and -w options to
change those variables.
But if all you're doing is importing a single package, without combining
any packages, dropping any files, adding any files, then solaris.py is
overkill. You can simply say
pkgsend send <package>
which will do basically the same thing, but much more simply. pkgsend
doesn't do any dependency processing, but the dependency analysis you get
with solaris.py isn't meaningful when you're only publishing one package,
as it (currently) only resolves dependencies from the packages that you're
planning on publishing.

Well, there's no way to make "pkg status" look at multiple servers, because
it doesn't look at servers. But assuming you meant "info" or a default
"search", then it's currently a manual operation. Edit the cfg_cache file
in the package directory (/var/pkg for full images) and add another
authority section. Then "info -s" will look at all the known servers, as
will "search -r". You can make search look at a server of your choice by
specifying "-s <server>", regardless of the current image's authorities.
(We probably ought to make info work the same way.)
