We are planning on upgrading our servers with a few of our custom packages
- asap because these are security fixes. Some of our production servers
run a chroot, and we thought we had installed the packages as
instance=unique, once for the main OS and once inside the chroot [because
some we need in both places, some we need in one or the other]. But we've
recently found that a unique instance is only installed if the version or
arch. Because of this, we've got two questions/issues:
(1) There is only once instance of a package instead of two. It looks
like the files are in both / and chroot though. Theoretically I can just
run pkgadd twice again [like we did originally] to upgrade it, but does
this cause any problems that perhaps haven't manifested themselves yet?
Has anyone done something similar and encountered problems? That's one of
our options - just to pkgadd twice but live with just one pkginfo record -
presuming there aren't problems doing this.
(2) Does anyone know of a way to force unique instances [same ver/arch] to
avoid potential problems? When building the packages, we are already
building sol8/sol9/64bit/32bit versions, so we really don't want to have
to build yet another combonation by changing version numbers or
architecture settings, etc. unless we have to.
thanks,
ivo
