[osol-discuss] Black magic
Hi everyone, I have encountered a strange thing. My server is running OpenSolaris 2009.06 build 111b. Until recent, when I check for updates, I see "No updates available". I have nothing changed. Recently, the update manager had shown large number of updated packages available (>1000 packages, >800MB). I thought that Oracle has decided at last to give out some updates to OS 2009.06, and started the update process. Unfortunately, the update process is going very slow (~15 minutes preparing, ~10 minutes downloading, and then "Download failed" at some point). So I have to restart the Update Manager, and start over. Every time it goes further, as (I think) already downloaded packages are not re-downloaded, just verified or so. The update process is not yet completed. I have decided to check this update at home. Installed OS 2009.06 in VirtualBox, checked for updates... No updates available. Returned to work, where server is *updating*. Re-checked repository settings in Package Manager. The only repository there is http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ . How comes that my server is updating? When the update will be complete, I will report results. - Dmitry. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Several changes were needed to /pkg, and bringing everyone on all the /dev & /release versions up to a common version first made it so that those pkg fixes only needed to be published for 134b, not every previous build that someone may be running. -- -Alan Coopersmith-alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] Black magic
This is bad and mad ! We have Opensolaris 2009.06-SU7 Support line and can't update now because essential fixes are missing in Solaris 11 Express. And today I need an additional package and must find out that I can't install it because then everything must be 134b, which a) breaks our system, b) is not covered by our support license ! What now ? How can I install a package that fits to Osol 2009.09 111b and is not located in the support repository, but was still in /release ? Thanks for messing up your Customers... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
