Not really. We see what pkgs are out of sync, either because of the pkg version of because of patches applied to those pkgs, then we do something similar to uninstalling and reinstalling those pkgs into the zone, preserving the editable and volatile files. This causes those pkgs to be up-to-date with respect to the global zone, just as is the case when a zone is newly installed. Its a bit more complicated than that, but we never actually apply patches to the zone. The global zone files are already patched and that is the source of the files for the non-global zone. >> Where possible, things will be disabled, but for SMF services delivered >> in hollow pkgs, those services must be removed due to the way the SMF >> dependencies are defined.

Yes, thats the idea. Thanks, Jerry _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
