I'm currently running OS 11/2008 and would like to upgrade to build 108.
I'm trying to add in the development repository into Package Manager
and can't.
I'm using this URL: http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
The Add button remains Greyed Out. Do I need to add a port number
like the SunFreeware repository? http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
Or do I have to specify which version I want?
The pkg.opensolaris.org/dev page shows 0.5.11-0.108 as the current
release. If I was to select this as the repository, if I could, and
then click on the Update All button wouldn't this do the trick? AND
also create a new BE so I could roll back?
Thanks in Advance

Hi
I think you are having the same problem I had.
What is output of "pkg authority"?
This was the recipe to solve the issue:
It's because, although you've added dev/, you've not made it the
preferred authority for your opensolaris.org packages.
pfexec pkg unset-authority Dev
pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
opensolaris.org
pfexec pkg refresh --full
should get you onto the development builds.

Here's how I'm set:
->pkg authority
AUTHORITY URL
SunFreeware http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
In my case I can't add /dev at all. If I could then I'd make it the
preferred repository...
Funny thing as I'm reading your e-mail I decided to try again and it
seems to work now...
->pkg authority
AUTHORITY URL
SunFreeware http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
OpenSolaris.org.Dev http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
->
It looks like it's being finicky about the NAME... I had been using
'Open Solaris Dev'
IAE, now I should be able to run an Update All with my current setting
to make sure that I'm up to date. Then switch my repository, and default
to the Dev and run another Update All which should upgrade me to the
b108 release...
If I'm not satisfied I should be able to reboot back into my existing BE...
Thanks for the info... I should be able to proceed now.
Dennis
