Building an ips image, I start from snv_134 http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev. I

What I don't understand is why no update will take place from snv_134 to
snv_148/illumos nightly unless I add http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev as an
optional publisher and remove the opensolaris.org publisher.

No updates available for this image.
# 2nd attempt after adding openindiana.org
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI

update starts and completes fine with source binaries from illumos nightly repo.
I'm trying to understand why I need the openindiana.org publisher and for what?
Shawn if you're out there, thanks in advance.
Because on-nightly alone isn't enough to upgrade your system.
'on-nightly' has dependencies on things in the 'WOS', such as Python and
others that are only available from openindiana.org's repository.
The solver in older builds such as the one you're using doesn't clearly
express the failure, but essentially, it's telling you "no updates
available" because it can't update you any farther because you're
missing dependencies that would allow you to.
