I never said it was hard to use, but obviously having a single command to upgrade your entire system instead of a sequence of them is "less cumbersome."
For example, compare this example using beadm to upgrade from build 110 to 111:
export BE_NAME=snv111 pfexec beadm create $BE_NAME && \ pfexec mkdir /tmp/mnt$$ && \ pfexec beadm mount $BE_NAME /tmp/mnt$$ && \ pfexec pkg -R /tmp/mnt$$ image-update -v pfexec beadm unmount $BE_NAME pfexec beadm activate $BE_NAME ...to this example using the pkg command: pfexec pkg image-update -v --be-name snv111 Cheers, -Shawn _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
