Remote search won't return it because the server manifests don't have the package fmri and so search can't search on package name. I know it sounds silly, but the manifest format was developed before search, and changing the manifest format until after post 2009.06 isn't practical. > When I browse the package listing at http://ipkg.sfbay/dev (as well as > pkg.opensolaris.org/dev) I don't see it there either. Because, by default, the package listing shows you only the packages from the latest build (build 111). ss-dev was last published in build 86, but can be installed into any later build. This is one of those annoying subtleties of how packages are published right now. It will all be changing in the future. Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
