Without your webrev I can type 'contrib' in the Name entry,
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib in the URI entry and press the Add
button to successfully add contrib.
With your webrev doing the above results in a Publisher error dialog
whose text tells me that:
One or more of the repository origin(s) listed below contains
package
data for contrib.opensolaris.org; not contrib:
This is either because one of the repository origins is not
valid for
this publisher, or because the publisher configuration retrieved
from
the repository origin does not match the client configuration.
If there's only one correct name, insisting that the user provide it
without knowing what it is, and then presenting the user with an error
dialog which might take the user a couple reads to conclude that this is
what has occurred is not the most ideal user experience IMHO. I think it
would be better if the user were not prompted for a name in this case.
That's because the contrib repository is running out of date pkg.depotd
software that doesn't support catalog v1. It is supposed to be upgraded
very soon.
In the meantime, the problem is that version of the depot software
supports publisher configuration, but doesn't support catalog v1. That
puts it into a weird grey area.
It's not a case I want to bother with, since we'd prefer repository
administrators run the most current pkg.depotd software.
