I apologize for not following the 'hipster' thread more closely, but is
'hipster' intended to be 151a8,
meaning that doing a standard `pkg image-update` from the default publisher
will never get bumped to 151a8 or
future releases?
I did try once to update with hipster and has error/warnings galore scroll past
and then failed to update.
Is that going to be fixed? I applaud the efforts of those working on it, but
with OI already on life
support, hurdles in the road like this will only frustrate users more and cause
them to abandon it
altogether.
Maybe you should follow that thread more closely. After initial
reports of failures now there are many reports of complete success.
It is an on-going process.
Otherwise, I am also curious to see if 'hipster' becomes the next
formal 151a8 and perhaps leading to an official OI release.
At first I thought there was hope with hipster, but then had those errors and
have mostly decided at this
point to use SmartOS for my web/mail servers. Although last night when I
logged into 151a7 and did a little
work I had a thought that perhaps I should just stay on OI because I like it,
but then logged onto my SmartOS
machine and wondered why should I keep using or wanting ot use OI?
If all you need is web and mail, then almost any distribution will do.
SmartOS and OI target completely different usage models (light/heavy),
although OI can support most functionalities offered by SmartOS.
