From my crude understanding of what was discussed, pkg state is pretty much frozen in the boot environment (BE, which allows for system rollbacks) via ZFS snapshots, and the boot environment is managed via beadm. As a result of this, the typical concepts of clearing pkg cache and autoremoving unused dependencies don't apply to OI, as each BE is its own self-contained entity. > > p/s: I don't use pkgsrc. > No worries, was just dropping that tidbit of information. IMO it's kinda hard to get up-to-date builds of many mainstream packages if you don't use it, so I kind of assumed most OI users did. I see that assumption was wrong. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
