[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: USB 3.0 (xHCI) Beta Testing and Review

[Tim Mooney]

In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: USB 3.0 (xHCI) Beta Testing and...:

Woot!

Thanks Robert & Adam!

So if I'm running hipster 2016.10 and I want to test, should it be as
simple as

 	sudo pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-xhci hipster-xhci

and then a package install from there, followed by a reboot?

When I try that, I get:

pkg set-publisher: One or more of the repository origin(s) listed below
contains package data for on-nightly, nightly-nd; not hipster-xhci:

http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-xhci/

This is either because one of the repository origins is not valid for this
publisher, or because the list of known publishers retrieved from the
repository origin does not match the client.
