Explanation:
Solaris 11 Express makes it pretty easy to set up a local copy of the repository.
A common reason folks need access to a local repository is because their system is not connected
to the Internet.
Tthe pkg set-publisher command can be used to for example add a publisher or to enable or
disable a publisher.
Note: Example Adding a Publisher
Use the -g option to specify the publisher origin URI.
# pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.example.com/release example.com
Example Specifying the Preferred Publisher
Use the -P option to specify a publisher as the preferred publisher. The specified publisher moves
to the top of the search order. You can specify the -P option when you add a publisher or you can
modify an existing publisher.
# pkg set-publisher -P example.com
Example Enabling or Disabling a Publisher
Use the -d option to disable a publisher. The preferred publisher cannot be disabled. A disabled
publisher is not used in package operations such as list and install. You can modify the properties
of a disabled publishers.
Use the -e option to enable a publisher.
# pkg set-publisher -d example2.com
