I don't see how they could issue package repository updates that only
installed on one type of installation - the packaging system simply
doesn't know or care. They can however not do the work to make updated

text installer, but for things on both...
Hi alan
I guess i misunderstood, OI proposal, I thought the updates were only be
available in OI "release" repo for their upcoming
"2012.02 text install" and the liveDVD would have it's own repo: /dev.
OI Proposal:
/dev builds will continue as normal, the next one will be Illumos based
- Desktop users can continue to use our /dev builds, and internet facing
servers can use the stable branch.
What we'd provide
The release would be aimed for February, and titled "2011.02". It would
be based
on oi_148. We would only provide the Text Installer and Automated Installer
ISOs.
We would provide security and critical bug fixes only for:
1. OS/Net (The core OS consolidation)
2. A limited set of server oriented packages that have the greatest
usage and
attack "surface area". The initial list I can think of includes:
* OpenSSL
* Sendmail
* Perl 5.8.4
* Python 2.6
* Ruby
* zip, bzip2, gzip
* Apache HTTPD 2.2
* PHP 5.X
* MySQL 5.X.X
* Postgresql 8.4
* Java
* Tomcat
* GNU Coreutils
* GCC
* RSync
* ISC BIND
* Bash
* Curl
* wget
