[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster upgrade problem

[Stefan Müller-Wilken]

Hi Nikola,

so that means that it is currently luck if the upgrade will work and in this particular case there's no way to force the upgrade to Perl 5.22? Too bad. :-(

Talking about contribution: https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana/issues is still the best starting point for helpers, right?

Cheers
 Stefan

Perl 5.10 sits the way of a 5.22 to-be-installed version while removing it first will not work due to lots of fundamental packages depending on Perl. Anyone an idea how to handle this situation gracefully?
Hipster has not been freezed in upgradable state so YMMV.

I suggest install inside Virtualbox and then do zfs send/zfs receive of both system dataset and user dataset of user made during install, so you can log in.
Previously one can make new BE with beadm , where zfs receive would come,  mount it with beadm and empty it. That way you can have fresh install that you can test and contribute to.

Be prepared that Hipster is work in progress and new contributors are badly needed, and many of the applications I use core dumps recently.
