Could you expound a bit on your possible concerns here and/or what
you mean by "deliver the origin(s)"?

   "Deliver the origin(s)" means that the origin of each publisher in the
   .p5p is provided in the corresponding .p5i.

   I am thinking about how "pkg fix" is expected to work for content
   initially delivered by .p5p.  I know we have disconnected sites as a
   key use case, so archiving the .p5p locally is one way to make pkg fix
   work.

Does this mean that if a .p5i file is contained within the pkg(5) archive that pkg(1) should automatically add any publishers within to the image performing the operation (install, update, etc.)?

In other words, if a user does:

  $ pkg install foo.p5p

...do I add new publishers (not currently configured) and update existing publishers based on the .p5i information within automatically?

I really only feel comfortable with adding the publisher(s) not already configured in the image.

Cheers,
-Shawn
