Hi,
I have some systems running older builds, like 2008.11, on which I now
need to do some testing with build 111b2 (a.k.a. 2009.06), and then move
on to build 116 without loosing the 2008.11 installation. I was hoping
there would be a way to use image-update to create a BE for 2009.06, and
then another BE for 116; but I see no way to tell image-update exactly
what I would like updated.
man pkg is your friend ;-) I think.
/usr/bin/pkg image-update [-fnvq] [--be-name name] [--no-refresh]
[--no-index]
the interesting part is --be-name. So, I *think* you could do:
pkg image-update --be-name 111b2 from your 2008.11 be. This should
create a new be called 111b2 which is an update of your 2008.11 be.
Then when you want to move to 116, you can do the same thing (after
pointing at /dev of course instead of /release).
Cheers,
To be clear, --be-name only provides a way to label the BE that results
from an image-update. It does not constrain the image-update in any way.
(So using --be-name 111b2 or --be-name foo will results on the same bits
being changed on your system.)
