Incremental build will not change the version of a package, but it should be republished with a later timestamp, so you should still get the newest version from a pkg install or image-update. What failures are you seeing? >> 1) Is this behavior intentional or a bug? Please describe the behavior you're seeing.

An incremental build should republish all of your packages with newer timestamps. For the objects that have not changed, the content hash will remain the same, so a subsequent pkg install will not update that object, even when installing the newer package. >> Thanks, >> (Bhavyan) >> >> PS: if this behavior is expected, I think, it defeats the whole purpose >> of having an >> incremental build. We intend for incremental builds to be useful. If they are not, please provide additional information so that we can help make them so. --Mark _______________________________________________ on-ips-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/on-ips-dev
