The following concerns all OI Hipster users.

OpenSSL was updated to 1.0.2d. It is mostly ABI-compatible to 1.0.1, but there is one issue. libssh has checks that utils are using the SSL version, against which they were compiled. So, you have to recompile illumos-gate after this update, if you use self-compiled illumos-gate. If you don't, be sure to do full pkg update, so that you have the latest osnet bits installed.

Note, that updating openssl without updating illumos-gate-provided packages will also cause default gnome login to fail, as ssh-agent is used during session startup.

One of the better sides of (Open) Solaris was ABI compatibility.

I had issue once updating OpenSUSE, where some repositories were locked for updates afte rupdate I was left with the system that I could not log into, because SSH could not run on newer Linux kernel and it needed to recompile to run. I was thinking something like this would never happen to an illumos distro and Openindiana.

I understand that if one just ro regular pkg update -v , will see nothing wrong, yet I needed to send some reflections and listen to possible feedback on the matter of ABI compatibility
(and having at least some releses to target compatibility on to).
