Alan is, of course, correct. You can't have *all* of them fixed in a code base as large as a modern OS. But you can fix the important stuff. And what a prospective user experiences when they boot the Live Image and attempt an install is critical. When experienced people have major problems doi

Hey Reg Lucas and Jude are ZFS Authors. On FreeBSD, but we have patches with their name in illumos these days. In general the book applies to both ZFS version, excluding things like draid. But We don't want divergence. The Plan to migrate to that ZFS repo is still going. -Till On 02.05.2

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Recommended way to migrate to a new release?

Gparted(1m) on the Live Image worked at one time. Now it does not. But it's still there despite my raising an issue and the triviality of simply removing it from the Desktop. I don't recall if the "Getting Started" document referenced in the GUI installer was ever there. I'd have to boot disks

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Recommended way to migrate to a new release?

Hi Reg Hipster is a Rolling release model meaning updates land directly in the package repositories for each package. ISO "Releases" are simply there to mark a point where we look back onto the last 6 months and can actually see how much has moved. And it's the point we want to make it as st

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Recommended way to migrate to a new release?

So if I do a "pkg update" after each ISO release I should track the ISOs? How do I ensure that I pick up new packages in an ISO? Do I specify a tag? It seems unlikely that the package list would be immutable. Reg On Saturday, May 1, 2021, 05:52:51 PM CDT, Alan Coopersmith wrote: O

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Recommended way to migrate to a new release?

I'm on the rolling release, but pkg upgrade -v - r updates the OS & OI repo packages and also creates a rollback BE. As to how one moves between ISO releases, I have no idea. However, I've found the rolling release sufficiently stable for my purposes anyway. On Sat, May 1, 2021, 17:32 Reginald Be
