The transport is only doing what it was asked. If the client asks the transport for a manifest that doesn't exist at a particular publisher, the transport must return that it encountered an error while trying to satisfy the request. Prefetch is a speculative operation, so nobody cares about the success or failure; however, expect the transport to raise an exception if it can't retrieve a manifest in the synchronous path -- get_manifest. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
