Hello,

"Hypothetical" situation:

Given a system with a base install of 2009.06, I add an additional publisher for ipkg.sfbay/support in order to install, say, SRU1. So 'pkg publisher' shows this:

opensolaris.org (preferred) origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ support origin online http://ipkg.sfbay/support

I install SRU1.

I now delete the 'support' publisher and hand the system over to someone else to administer.

At some point that person wants to update to a newer SRU. Am I correct in understanding that they will have to re-add a publisher called 'support' (actual URL irrelevant) before they are able to perform the update?

Also, is there any other way, other than say querying the 'entire' package to look for the previously used publisher, that they would know to use this specific name for their publisher?

For ex.:

r...@opensolaris:~# pkg contents -o name,value entire
NAME         VALUE
description entire incorporation including Support Repository Update (SRU 1). For more information see http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=opensolaris
fmri         pkg://support/[email protected],5.11-0.111.1:20090623T232524Z
publisher    support
variant.arch ['sparc', 'i386']

Thanks,

--Jens
