I'm not suggesting that we use the terms interchaneably. I'm concerned that substituting authority in all cases leads to a ciricular definition of preferred authority. That's an equally confusing outcome. I'd recommend the following minor change: =========== ! o Preferred authority: A default repository that is the source for packages. ! If a user does not explicitly specify an authority when installing and updating packages, the preferred authority is chosen as the source for packages. During the creation of an image, the initially specified authority is marked as the preferred authority. Any one of the authorities associated with an image may be set as the preferred authority by using the set-authority command with -P option. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list pkg-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
