Hello,
I'm seeing the following pkg behavior on a 2008.11 system(it's an EC2
instance actually, but that probably doesn't matter). The instance
runs snv_101b. It has SUNWruby18 (from b101) installed. I'd like to
upgrade SUNWruby18 to the version in the dev repository( from snv_111)
that has the latest versions of Ruby/Rubygems. I changed the
preferred package authority to be http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev and
attempted to upgrade the package, but pkg does not spot any updates.
Can someone please point out what I'm doing wrong here? (if it turns
out to be a bug, I'd be happy to file it as well).
pkg and your system is working as expected. SUNWruby18 is part of the
entire incorporation. That means you can't take just that package
forward, that's roughly equivalent to dim sum patching, which isn't
allowed under IPS. You can either wait for the next release,
image-update your system to b111, or publish your own version of
SUNWruby18 against build 101.
Hope that helps clear things up,
Brock
