IPS can already update individual packages today. However, the
*packages* as they are currently published are constrained to not
allow you to update between builds.
I see. So there is likely some logic in pkg to ignore requests to
update SUNW* packages individually, or there is (more likely) a
packaging instruction that ties down a package as non upgradeable . . .
or something similar?
At some later point, some packages will be changed to allow you to
update individual ones. However, which packages, when, and how that
will be done hasn't been decided yet.
Excellent - I am the SUNWruby* maintainer - and would love to offer my
package for individual updates, when ever that is considered seriously.
Thanks for explaining this.
