Repos

http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository

The SFE package repository is an "extras" package repository, supplementing the core OI distribution with additional software from the Spec Files Extra project.

It contains a wide variety of software, including:

  • Various languages and compilers (gcc 4.6.2, Steel Bank Common Lisp, the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Python 3
  • Various daemons and database programs (PostgreSQL, dovecot, postfix)
  • Qt 4.7 and some applications which use it (the Scribus desktop publishing system, the LyX LaTeX front end, the Arora Web browser)
  • Multimedia applications (Music Player Daemon and several clients, FFmpeg, mplayer2, vlc, MKVToolnix)

Commands

Upgrading

If you are currently running OpenIndiana oi_147 or oi_148, first, verify you have the correct publishers set:

pfexec pkg publisher

PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI openindiana.org (preferred) origin online http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/

If your openindiana.org publisher is set to a different URI, for example http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev-il/ (our release candidate branch), you can correct this with:

pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/ openindiana.org

opensolaris.org publisher If you currently have the opensolaris.org publisher set, we would highly recommend unsetting it by running:

pfexec pkg unset-publisher opensolaris.org

Make sure pkg is up to date:

pfexec pkg install package/pkg

You can now identify what will be upgraded by issuing the command:

pfexec pkg image-update -nv

The -n flag specifies to perform no action (i.e. perform a trial run), and the -v flag is the verbose option, to provide additional output.

I always do big upgrades in screen so:

screen

If you are satisfied with the actions to be taken, you can perform the upgrade by typing:

pfexec pkg image-update -v

You may want to consider also passing the "--be-name" flag to give the new boot environment created a more memorable name, such as oi_151a.

Note: You may want to upgrade your zpool if you have a new version of ZFS
