[indiana-discuss] Is the 2008.05 iso now based on build 91?

> Well, that's what I was ranting(*) about in the first place. How can I know what version to install? It's not very well documented. And if I have 2008.05 based on snv_86 then isn't SUNWipkg at 0.5.11-0.86 the version delivered with that from the beginning? Or are you reusing the version numbers after an upgrade?

We're not reusing the version numbers per-se but rather we're changing
the timestamp which is the lowest part of the version number.  This
allows us to publish a version of a package for an earlier build.  In
the case of SUNWipkg, this is relatively simple to do.

With respect to determining which version of SUNWipkg you have, usually
I would suggest running "pkg list SUNWipkg" and see whether the command
reports that an update is available - look for a 'u' character under
the UFIX field.  Unfortunately, this command will report an update is
available even if the only update is one with a higher build number.
However, you can always just rerun

 	$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg@<version>

where <version> is the version printed by "pkg list SUNWipkg" and if
there is a newer timestamped version, it will update to that.
