The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_106 and introduces
support for SPARC systems in the package repository. This update also
includes major fixes to the Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image
Packaging System (IPS).
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred authority to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI. Systems with
non-global zones installed should take special notice of bug #6043
documented in the "Known issues in this repository update" section
below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
IMPORTANT NOTE: As changes have been integrated to support "facets"
within IPS[1], newly published packages in the development repository
may require the latest version of the pkg(1) command to install. In
general, users of the development repository should ensure the latest
version of IPS is installed by either using "image-update" facility or
manually installing SUNWipkg.
ISO images for the Automated Installer, CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows
SPARC Automated Installer image, 493MB

More information on using the Automated Installer can be found here
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/AI_install_server_setup.html
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
# eeprom | grep network-boot-arguments
If the network-boot-arguments parameter is set or if the following
output is displayed
network-boot-arguments: data not available.
then the OBP can be used with the Automated Installer.
USB images can be copied to a USB device using the "usbcopy" program
that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/raw/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/cmd/install-tools/usbcopy
Known issues in this repository update
======================================
6043 beadm commands fail in b105 when zones are present.
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6043
Manipulation of boot environments through the beadm(1M) command
or the updating of images via pkg(1) and the Package Manager
fails when non-global zones are present.
Work-around: Before attempting any operation that manipulates a
boot environment, destroy any non-global zones on the system.
6331 Build 106a Live CD sometimes boots only to console login
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6331
The Live CD boot process may terminate at the console login
prompt, not reaching the graphical desktop.
Work-around: Login as user "jack", password "jack" and then
issue the command
$ svcadm clear nwam
The boot process should continue and start the graphical
desktop.
