[OpenIndiana-discuss] Recommended way to migrate to a new release?

[Reginald Beardsley]

So if I do a "pkg update" after each ISO release I should track the ISOs?

How do I ensure that I pick up new packages in an ISO? Do I specify a tag? It seems unlikely that the package list would be immutable.

The wrong way to update.  Install media is for fresh installs only.
Updates are done via "pkg update".
