OpenIndiana Distribution

i suppose opensolaris.org should go away instead of setting it non-sticky. als by now, update of 148 to 148+ does work fine without opensolaris.org repo

After discussion during last weeks #oi-meeting, we decided we would update IPS present in oi_148 to deliver a self-deleting SMF manifest, which would set opensolaris.org non-sticky.

Updating IPS oi_148 would result in "pkg image-update" returning an error that pkg is out of date. The user would then upgrade pkg, which would set opensolaris.org non-sticky. Then an upgrade would complete correctly.

I will do a post-install SMF manifest that does this, rebuild pkg5, then pass this to release engineering to publish to /dev.

Hi All,

I've updated my self-deleting manifest to set opensolaris.org non-sticky. This should hopefully be the final build, which we can ship to the main repo.

I'd like more than 3 people to test this before we ship this /dev.

The changeset to mq_pkg-gate is here:

http://hg.openindiana.org/mq_pkg-gate/file/tip/oi-issue-547-installer-doesnt-set-opensolaris-org-publisher-non-sticky

The repo is here:

http://pkgdev.uk.openindiana.org:20547/

Here is a log of testing it (which explains what you have to do to test):

As you can see, after installing the new package, it sets opensolaris.org non-sticky.

Looking forward to feedback :-)

Hi All,

DeanoC tested this on his oi_147 "supposedly updated to oi_148" machine (see http://www.pastie.org/2213307 for his package list where most packages are still 0.147 due to opensolaris.org being sticky).

Unfortunately it doesn't work; my updated pkg is for 0.148, and since DeanoC's opensolaris.org is sticky, it refuses to update it.

Since this is effectively what we're trying to fix, Trisk suggested I redo my fix for oi_147 and publish that. I will attempt to implement this at some point over the next few days.

Cheers,

Alasdair

Trisk will sort out the 151 ISO as per:
