A few questions regarding putback traffic - pkg on my machine (updated IN,
outside SWAN) does not accept --full keyword.  Is this something that hasn't
made it to the pkg.opensolaris.org yet?   In general, as I see putbacks
announced on this alias, does it mean that pkg.*-distributed packages are
updated instantly and I can expect to see changes after pkg refresh (or
--full) or is this heads-up internal-only?

Thank you,

David
