Waldirio, I just realized that the example that you provided me was a channel and repositories. That is exactly how I have the CentOS channel setup. A single channel with three repositories.
Solaris doesn't have repositories that I can draw from that is why I am adding the packages and patches to the channel(s). Thanks.
