I apologize for originally sending the following post without a subject: My machine is on Solaris 5.10 and pkgutil.conf has set the mirror at > http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing and has mysql5 > 5.0.96,REV=2012.03.24 installed. > The page http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/kiel/sparc/5.10/ lists > mysql5-5.5.30,REV=2013.04.11-SunOS5.10-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz<http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/kiel/sparc/5.10/mysql5-5.5.30%2cREV%3d2013.04.11-SunOS5.10-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz> > as > the current package. > When I submit pkgutil -C --param=mirror: > http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/kiel I expect to see CSWmysql5 in the > listing, but is not listed.

I looked for it by typing "pkginfo" but my eyes kept skipping over it, probably because I was looking for the word "repository" instead of "site". There might be a suggestion there to change the text for that help in case others who are read impatiently like me. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and make the switch from testing to kiel.
