Hi,
If i have a local copy of the packages in pkg.opensolaris.org, I can 
install packages directly from a local disk, without needed to be 
connected to the internet (and this is fast). To make that I can do:
pkg set-authority -P -O http://localhost:10000 localhost

Now I can choose in packagemanager between these two repositories.
Let's assume I have a local copy of pkg-x.y.z-timestamp1 and this 
package is now called pkg-x.y.z-timestamp2. If I install 
pkg-x.y.z-timestamp2 from the localhost repository, it never tells me 
later on when on pkg.opensolaris.org will be a newer version of pkg. 
Also if I choose the pkg.opensolaris.org repository and select the
pkg-x.y.z-timestamp1 it do not tells me that there is already a version 
of that. I assume the reason for that is because the packages are called 
the same, but comming from different authorities.

Is that in any case possible (or will be) that I can install from 
localhost-repository, but it is seen from packagemanager as coming from 
a different (origin) authority to get newer version from this remote site ?

Detlef
