In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] recommendations for updating to...:
- should I just remove all of them before I do an update? - will the fact that sfe and sfe-encumbered are now non-sticky mean that the updates that come from /dev will leave sfe packages on the system, but in a broken state? Or, will the update automatically remove stuff from sfe/sfe-encumbered if their dependencies are no longer met?Because I am responsible for both, JDS and SFE, I can say that it should not be problem to keep sfe and sfe-encumbered as non-sticky. The update will replace older SFE packages with newer JDS (it is system/library/orc which was added to JDS in a9).
Hi Milan! I did update my desktop workstation to 151a9 yesterday, after making the changes to make sfe and sfe-encumbered non-sticky. The update went well and I haven't noticed any problems since updating. In addition, while browsing sfe-encumbered yesterday, I noticed that in November you added the package gnome/media/gnome-media-extras that I had asked for a few months ago, to get some of the gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly into OI. I had to use gstreamer-properties to select the output device on my workstation, but now that gnome/media/gnome-media-extras is installed, rhythmbox can play a lot more formats, including mp3s. I spent the afternoon yesterday listening to streaming radio and parts of my music collection, and I have you to thank for it. :-) Tim -- Tim Mooney [email protected] Enterprise Computing & Infrastructure 701-231-1076 (Voice) Room 242-J6, Quentin Burdick Building 701-231-8541 (Fax) North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5164 _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
