[OpenIndiana-discuss] managing repositories

["Weiergräber, Oliver H."]

Ahh, you are right - somehow missed it in the man page ...

Still, what remains unclear to me is the precise effect of the repository search order compared to the "preferred" flag.
And, of course, the questionable utility of the old opensolaris publisher.

Best regards,
Oliver

SFE packages are usually newer so they may be preferred.

I see it in the help output from 'pkg':

         pkg set-publisher [-Ped] [-k ssl_key] [-c ssl_cert]
             [-g origin_to_add|--add-origin=origin_to_add ...]
