[oi-dev] OI project reboot required

[David Höppner]

I actually get a permissions error.

$ sudo pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/ openindiana.org
pkg set-publisher: Could not refresh the catalog for openindiana.org

http protocol error: code: 403 reason: Forbidden
URL: 'http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/openindiana.org/catalog/1/catalog.attrs'.


I noticed Oracle upstream moves aggressively to amd64 only;
installing amd64 just in bin not in bin/$(MACH64).
