Dear OI community, I was never fond of Rolling Releases. I tried a couple times, it always ended in an unrecoverable system and me switching back to a classic LTS linux distro (I'm a linux user myself).
It generally boils down to these two essential problems : 1- Never miss an update. Missing an update increases your chances of breaking the system on next update. 2- You can't install a package if your system is out of date. This means that if you chose to not update the system, for example because of a known problematic package, you won't be able to install new software until that package is fixed. A workaround would be to pin that package to its current version so that it doesn't get updated, and unpin it once it gets fixed on next update (but see 1 about missing updates) Out of curiosity, does this also apply to OI ? -- Yassine _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
