Hello, people.
Let's do something about package versions. It's really awesome to have
the newest illumos-gate version. But it breaks existing installations.
In current scheme packages are always compiled against latest illumos
and we have no way to distinguish between package versions.
I see several ways to deal with this problem.
1) Building illumos-gate only once a week/two weeks/etc, bump
ONNV_BUILDNUM (and perhaps BRANCHID at the same time) in jenkins or in
cron job (151.1.8.1.N).
2) We can generate incremental series of ONNV_BUILDNUM automatically and
in consistent way. For example,
changing
echo export ONNV_BUILDNUM=$(ONNV_BUILDNUM)
to
echo export ONNV_BUILDNUM=$(ONNV_BUILDNUM).$$(git log --format=%H |wc
-l|tr -d ' '))
in components/illumos/illumos-gate/Makefile
will generate consistent (but perhaps, not human-friendly) series of
numbers.
Any other suggestions?
