an alternate package download location, usually a local mirror of -

+ o Recommended Upgrade procedure from any OpenPKG-2.x-RELEASE
+
+ The steps below assume you work as m_usr and become root by means of
sudo.
+ Please adjust if you use another mechanism to gain higher privileges or
+ simplify if you work as root all the time.
+
+ 1# su - m_usr
+ 2$ openpkg rpm --rebuild
ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/stable/2.20060622/SRC/openpkg-2.20060622-2.20060622.src.rpm
+ 3$ MY/sudo $HOME/bin/openpkg rpm -Uvh
$HOME/RPM/PKG/openpkg-2.20060622-2.20060622.*-*-*.rpm
+ 4$ openpkg rpm -e openpkg-tools openpkg-registry
+ 5$ #optional echo "TAG=2-STABLE-20060622" >$HOME/etc/openpkg/release
+ 6$ openpkg register --mode=post [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+ 7$ openpkg build openpkg-tools | sh
+ 8$ openpkg build -P MY/sudo -ZaKB | sh
+
+ 1 switch to the administrative user environment. The m_usr is a good
choice
+ and assumed in this example having HOME set to the instance prefix.
You
+ can omit this step if you work as superuser all the time.
+
+ 2 fetch and rebuild the bootstrap. The example shows the snapshotted
version
+ which works verbatim. You might find an update in the UPD folder
beneath
+ SRC. Or climb up the STABLE branch looking into
+ ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/stable/2/.
+
+ 3 update the bootstrap. The example shows sudo in action and assumes
the
+ sudoers file has been configured in advance, allowing m_usr to
execute
+ $HOME/bin/openpkg as superuser.
+
+ 4 remove openpkg-tools and openpkg-registry. The bootstrap contains a
+ "openpkg build" simulator which is able to download new tools. The
+ registry client is completely embedded in new bootstraps.
+
+ 5 by default, "openpkg build" will look for the latest packages in the
+ branch most appropriate for your bootstrap: CURRENT, STABLE or
+ SOLID/RELEASE. If you want to stay close to the snapshot and not
follow
+ the STABLE branch then tell the tool to stay on a certain TAG. This
is a
+ completely optional step.
+
+ 6 register the instance, of course replacing the user data with the
ones you
+ used previously to enroll an account on
http://registry.openpkg.org/. The
+ easiest way is to use the post mode, which requires a working HTTP
+ connection to be established from the instance to the registry. If
this is
+ not possible or allowed, use --mode=fake and copy'n'paste the
registration
+ data into the registry drop-xml form. Do not forget to login into the
+ registry and associate the instance with your account. Otherwise
downloads
+ will not work.
+
+ 7 run the "openpkg build" simulator which will download, rebuild and
install
+ "make", "binutils", "gcc", "perl" and "openpkg-tools". After that
step the
+ "openpkg build" command is full featured.
+
+ 8 use the full feature "openpkg build" command to upgrade all
packages. Note
+ that the "-Za" combination is new in openpkg-tools-0.8.59
+
Upgrade from OpenPKG-2.5-RELEASE to OpenPKG-2-STABLE-20060622
