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

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.
