Hi Brock,

'pkg list' command will only give you the 'installed' package which is not relevant. I saw this number from the bottom section of Package Manager. I couldn't find any option to use in 'pkg list' to ONLY list the total number of known packages within the 'preferred' ips server. Can anyone shed some light here?

IPS did not allow me to install any of the SPARC based pkgs. I actually expect these SPARC pkgs should not appear in x86 based systems. Is it the expected behavior?

Currently, yes. The client does not yet filter out packages based on architecture.

See bug 8447.

The output of 'pkg publisher -a' is:

PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
opensolaris.org-dev      (preferred)  origin   online   
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
opensolaris.org                       origin   online   
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
Thanks,
Ben


Ben, you shouldn't have two publishers here.

Instead, you should:

pfexec pkg set-publisher -P -O http://ipkg.sfbay/dev opensolaris.org
pfexec pkg unset-publisher opensolaris.org-dev

If you want to switch to release later:

pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://ipkg.sfbay/release opensolaris.org

Cheers,
