Eratta: Realised after making ISOs that the opensolaris.org publisher is still sticky.  Will see if this is easily fixable or just drop opensolaris.org in the next ISO respin.

You can get ISOs, the full repo or just pkg update from a previous version (But not from b134 which will be fixed in the next release).

Note that the prestable builds are now being pushed to http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev - if you have the /prestable repo set (http://pkg.openindiana.org/prestable) please run this command to switch back to /dev:

pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev -G http://pkg.openindiana.org/prestable openindiana.org

Enjoy, JT
