For Solaris Express (or whatever it's being called these days), you upgrade a package by upgrading to the next build. There's a new build available every two weeks. (And LU is your friend.) There's no way to upgrade just one package alone, though. It's possible that a new package from a new build will run on an older build, but there's simply no way to guarantee it, and we don't. Attempting to upgrade just one package is probably a mistake. For official Solaris releases (such as Solaris 10), you get individual changes as "patches." These are smaller sets of changes that replace individual binaries from multiple packages at once, and typically deliver a finer-grained update. However, there are *NO* patches generated for marketing releases that are still under development. Solaris Nevada (the base of Solaris Express) is still under development. I think you might be confused about blastwave's pkg-get. That doesn't update Solaris packages; it has nothing to do with Solaris itself. Instead, it intentionally installs into a separate place on the system (/opt/csw) and provides an _alternative_ set of packaged software you can choose to use. You almost certainly do not want to attempt to copy binaries from blastwave atop Solaris-delivered binaries. You'll end up with chaos. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
