Hello,
I am looking at the bug:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7036
GUI to offer option to uninstall packages before publisher removal
"If the authority contains installed packages, the api should raise
exception. One the exception is raised the gui should ask user to
uninstall packages first and proceed with authority removal."
The question which I have is weather we should allow user to remove
repository which contains installed packages or not?
I know that few people were complaining that they broke their system by
running command:
pfexec pkg unset-authority opensolaris.org
If we will ask user to remove packages before doing that I believe the
operation will be safe. User will still have option to point to another
repository using the same prefix.
