The order of operations matters here. The updatelog has a built-in log rotation mechanism. If the commit generates enough updates, previous update log entries will automatically get purged. I would copy the catalog/updatelog first, and then apply the changes. That has the added benefit of leaving a good version of the catalog around, should the application of the updates fail unexpectedly. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
