Hi,

I have some packages I obtain from publically-accessible repositories, and some that require me to bring up a VPN tunnel through my corporate firewall to obtain (punchin :) ).

I find that if I add all the repositories to my publisher list, I can't do image-update.

Is there an easy way I can deal with this, other than constantly having to add and delete publishers from my list?

I wish that image-update would have a way to update from the repositories it can access, without getting a fatal error when one of its publishers is unreachable.

Can the -f option help here? The pkg man page says it skips "safety checks" but doesn't define what those checks actually are (at least not in the same terms)... I'd imagine it's talking about dependency checking or perhaps platform compatibility?

If this isn't a current capability, is it something we're planning to add?

-Bob
