Hi, i'd like to follow Opensolaris development closely for updates to ZFS, iSCSI, COMSTAR, etc.
Previsously I did that based on SXCR, BFU'ing once in a while to biweekly onnv builds or even to weekly snapshots. Well, BFU is a terrible way to do package upgrades, and "Indiana" was described as the new fast-moving Opensolaris distribution, and "pkg" looked much better than BFU. So I went ahead and installed Opensolaris 2008.05. But now I am stuck at build 86 and struggeling to see how to update to newer builds, presently that would be onnv_90. What authority do I have to point pkg to, or where do I find all the osol builds in pkg-digestable format? If binary packages do not exist, how can I build them myself? And what about the other projects, like ZFS crypto and such? All of them seem to just offer BFU bundles, not pkg authorities. Is it possible to BFU an Opensolaris 2008.05 base? (Besides the point that this would of course screw up all the pkg versioning...) What about the other way around: Is it possible to install additional pkg packages on top of a SXCR base? Still a little confused... :-) Thanks for any helpful pointers. Cheers, Dirk This message posted from opensolaris.org
