There are some good administrative commands to maintain the consistency of the repository configuration. However, the publisher doesn't always maintain its importance and priorities, and this gives us the flexibility to invert the order of the search.
To follow this recipe, it's necessary that we have a machine (physical or virtual) running Oracle Solaris 11; we log in to the system as the root user and open a terminal. Access to the Internet is optional.
We remove a publisher using the following commands:
root@solaris11:~# pkg unset-publisher Symantec root@solaris11:~# pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION solaris origin online F http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ solaris mirror online F http://localhost:9999/ training origin online F http://localhost:8888/ solarisstudio origin online F https://pkg.oracle.com/solarisstudio/release/
We might still prefer that the search action look for a specific publisher before another one. This task can be executed using the following commands:
root@solaris11:~# pkg set-publisher --search-before training solarisstudio root@solaris11:~# pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION solaris origin online F http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ solaris mirror online F http://localhost:9999/ solarisstudio origin online F https://pkg.oracle.com/solarisstudio/release/ training origin online F http://localhost:8888/
