<para>If the sticky attribute is set for a publisher, then a package that was installed from that publisher cannot be updated from a different publisher. If the sticky attribute is not set for a publisher, then that publisher is non-sticky. If a publisher is non-sticky, then a package that originally came from that publisher can be updated from another publisher. A different publisher might have a newer version of a package than the original publisher of the package. If you want to update to that newer version, the original publisher needs to be non-sticky. Also, if a lower priority publisher is non-sticky, then higher-priority publishers will be searched first for updates for packages installed from that non-sticky publisher.</para> |

<para>A mirror is a location of an IPS package repository that contains only package content (package files). A mirror does not contain package metadata (package manifests and catalogs). Mirrors provide a subset of the data that origins provide. Mirrors can be used only for downloading package files. Package metadata is downloaded from the origin. IPS clients access the origin to obtain a publisher's catalog, even when the clients download package content from a mirror.</para> |
