Hi
In Linux environment - more specifically - Ubuntu or Fedora - allows me
to get latest version updates of some application packages - say Tomcat
6.0.20 - without requiring me to update kernel. Is this some thing
planned for OpenSolaris 2009.06 or OpenSolaris.Next ?
For example, if I am running a production server running on Tomcat
6.0.18 and if I want to update to Tomcat 6.0.20 , the current way to do
on OpenSolaris would be
a) set the repository to dev
b) update to the latest build
c) reboot the server.
On Linux, If I am not mistaken, I am able to get version updates without
having to do reboot to the new kernel and I don't have to be a paid
customer !.
The current publication process used to release OpenSolaris builds is
the cause of this limitation. It will be changing over time, but if you
want to see every fix and every update, you will need to track /dev or
the 'support' repository streams.
