Wooohooo!! purple-remote (used for controlling Pidgin from the command line) is now in Nevada and works. For some reason purple-remote wasn’t included when Pidgin replaced GAIM on Solaris. I’m not sure which build it was introduced in, but it’s definitely there in build 93. CR 6578100 still needs to be updated to reflect [...]

Solaris Live Upgrade and Patches
I encountered a bit of a challenging question today…
Suppose I have Solaris 10 1/06 (update 1) installed and I’ve patched it with various patches that are actually provided as part of a much later release, for example Solaris 10 11/06 (update 3). Will I have to reapply those patches if I perform a live [...]
