Hi,
Is it legal to use pkg to update and/or modify a boot environment
created with onu? (I know this was a problem with bfu (based on cpio),
but AFAIK, onu uses pkg.)
Yes you can use pkg client interface (pkg image-update) to update the BE
directly (onu also does that only).
I just need to know whether it is always necessary to keep an
"official" BE updated from the /dev repository.
It depends on your need, if you always want to keep your system updated
to latest bits.
Will it be possible to update a BE created with onu once a new
official OpenSolaris release appears in the repository?
Yes, ONU is just a wrapper script & it does following :
• Creates a New Boot Environment
• Mounts the new BE
• Starts a package depo server locally (/usr/lib/pkg.depotd)
• Use the package repository from your workspace as
the package repo for this depo server
• Set locally started depo server as the preferred
publisher (for both redist & extra package repo)
• Does pkg image-update (with mounted New BE as
root)
