The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_92 and snv_93 including
an update to GNOME 2.22.2 and fixes to the Caiman "Slim Install" and
the Image Packaging System (IPS). Users who wish to update their
systems to the development build can do so using the "image-update"
facility provided by the pkg(1) command. For important information
about "image-update", see the instructions below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed.

Known issues in this repository update
======================================
2328 Package Manager no longer can install/update packages
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2328
As this time, the Package Manager cannot be used to install or
update packages. When an attempt is made to do so, the
application will display an error to standard output ending
with the line
TypeError: __init__() takes at least 4 non-keyword arguments (3 given)
Work-around:
Use the pkg(1) command to install or update packages on the
system.

General instructions on updating to the latest OpenSolaris development build
============================================================================
1) Before using the "image-update" subcommand, it is recommended that
the latest available version of the IPS software be installed for your
current boot environment
$ BUILD=`uname -v | sed s/snv_//`
$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg at 0.5.11-0.$BUILD
$ pfexec pkg install entire at 0.5.11-0.$BUILD
2) Before proceeding to the next step, verify your OpenSolaris build
number
$ echo $BUILD
3) If you are running build 93 or greater, you can use "image-update"
directly as follows
$ pfexec pkg image-update
4) If you are using a build prior to 93, it is recommended one apply
the update directly to an alternate boot environment. First, display
the list of the existing BEs on the system
$ beadm list
BE Active Active on Mountpoint Space
Name reboot Used
---- ------ --------- ---------- -----
opensolaris no no - 33.92M
opensolaris-1 yes yes - 17.06M
Next, choose the name of a new BE - if the most recent created BE is of
the form "opensolaris-<N>" where <N> is an integer, then a suitable
choice for the new BE is "opensolaris-<N+1>". In the above example,
the new BE would be "opensolaris-2".
Then, execute the following sequence to create, mount, update and
activate the new BE
$ pfexec beadm create opensolaris-<N+1>
$ pfexec beadm mount opensolaris-<N+1> /mnt
$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update
$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-<N+1>
5) If you are running build 86, one additional work-around is
required.
>>>>>>>>>> IMPORTANT <<<<<<<<<<
Due to changes in the GRUB boot system, one must manually update the
Master Boot Record (MBR) to include these latest changes. Failure to
follow these instructions when updating from 2008.05 (build 86) to a
later build will result in a system that does not boot by default and
instead the original boot environment must be manually selected.
Update the GRUB configuration on your ZFS boot device(s) using
$ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt
When you're ready to boot into the updated boot environment, you can
reboot(1M) or init(1M) as usual.
