I've decided to finally update my version of hipster. I think it might date to January of 2018 going by the date on the last zfs creation date. I want to know if the details I've extracted from the running version shown below will provide enough info for someone to answer my questions shown below. ,---- | uname -a | SunOS oiv 5.11 illumos-8c33116662 i86pc i386 i86pc `---- Can the date of the kernel above be divined from the version number above?
If you have cloned the illumos-gate repository ("git clone https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland.git") you can get information about the latest commit that is in your boot enviroment by issuing "git show 8c33116662".
------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- ,---- | sudo ls /.zfs/snapshot | zfs-auto-snap_monthly-2018-01-06-16h05 `---- I do not recall, but I may have continued to run OS beyond the date of last `auto snapshot' shown above. I may have ran the OS without the auto snapshot enabled but I believe the date shown is at least close to the last run date.
"zfs list -t snapshot" should give you the same information without the need to increase your rights with sudo. "beadm list" will show you all existing boot environments with their creation dates in your system.
------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- ,---- | pkg publisher | PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION | openindiana.org origin online F http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/ `---- Before updating the OS, will I need to do anything with publisher shown above?
No, everything is fine with your publisher.
And lastly: Although I have run Openindiana and then Hipster for a few years, I still have only a basic skill level: Am I likely to run into serious problems updating from a version over a 1 year old?
