As soon as we get BE support integrated, you'll automatically get a fresh BE snapshot & clone on image-update. We don't yet detect when reboot is required for pkg install; we're thinking about that problem. For normal user binaries, the file action does the right thing to safely replace a running binary. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
