I’ve been having some problems with the OpenIndiana oi_148 to oi_151a update, but only on one virtual machine in particular. Until today i’ve been stuck, until I thought to:
After that, the image-update went fine. I need to learn more of the options for pkg, apparently. I had skipped that before because my other OI machines did not have that non-sticky option set, and the upgrade worked there.
Today, I had to enable python and perl USE flags globally in /etc/make.conf. I guess Gentoo changed the default setting for these flags. Personally I like having the kind of built-in tools and scripts that these provide, so I turned them on. Plus, enabling these flags avoided having to rebuild dozens of ebuilds (I have a lot of stuff installed).
I can understand why the Gentoo devs did it (most people don’t need perl/python/ruby support embedded in Vim, for example), but I’m beginning to think there’s no way for me to keep up with changes, or if there is, I totally missed it, so everytime this changes I’ll be looking at Bugzilla and the Forums. Maybe there’s a way I can track these kind of USE flag changes on my own system, in a more obvious way then the output from eix-sync. I’ll have to look into it.
Knowing Dan-o like I do… I find this hilarious. Article where they interview Dan about storage costs
So… this dude sent me a link to this and I thought I’d include a list of all the states I’ve managed to at least drive through:
