Use cases
---------
Normal user getting packages from pkg.opensolaris.org and datahavens.org:
1) Installs system as per usual, points preferred to usual
best available publisher - say, pkg.opensolaris.org
2) Adds new publisher datahavens.org to acquire mplayer.
Without specifying search order, new publisher is appended
to the current order.
Project Developer:
1) Installs system as per usual, points preferred to usual
best available publisher - say, pkg.opensolaris.org
2) Adds new publisher "MyOwnRepo" pointing at his
latest and greatest bits. Note that his repo is lowest
in search order, but since his package names are unique no issues
arise.
Contrib User that prefers supported bits:
1) Installs system as per usual, points preferred to usual
best available publisher - say, pkg.opensolaris.org
2) Adds contrib repo after p.o.o, and makes it non-sticky.
3) Adds packages from contrib as desired.
4) When and if packages move to p.o.o, they're automatically
updated from p.o.o on the next image update or
pkg install ....
OpenSolaris developer:
1) Installs system as per usual, points preferred to usual
best available publisher - say, pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
2) Adds new preferred publisher "MyOwnRepo" pointing at his
latest and greatest bits; making it preferred places it
first in the search order.
3) Pkg.opensolaris.org is made non-sticky to cause pkgs from MyOwnRepo
to replace those from pkg.opensolaris.org on next update
4) If additional fresh bits are required, additional development
repos can be added and placed ahead of pkg.opensolaris.org
in the search order; in this way multiple consolidations
can be kept at the bleeding edge.
can you provide the use case for a contract customer? I hope it will be trivial but would just like to be sure.
