The recommended upgrade path is always to provision a new zone. It's technically possible to upgrade existing zones but it is not recommended nor supported as there is no way to guarantee that your services will continue working. You also miss out on any non-pkgsrc changes that have been applied to newer images. There are plenty of configuration management systems available to help you do this, and once you have architected your systems so that they are arbitrarily provisionable you will reap many other benefits. -- Jonathan Perkin - Joyent, Inc. - www.joyent.com ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
