As the contents of /etc/release indicates, you're using the 2009.06
release of OpenSolaris, which is the current latest "stable" release.
It was based on Build 111b of the source base (as shown by the
'snv_111b' moniker in both 'uname -a' and /etc/release )
There will be some updates to this release, as the updatemanager GUI
(or pkg CLI) will show you when you run it. However, these updates
aren't much more than a small section of critical bugfixes.
Ah, but we are now getting critical fixes, at least?
If you'd like to live on the bleeding edge, and have access to the
latest Development builds, got to http://pkg.opensolaris.org and click
on the 'dev' link for instructions as to how to change your update
repository from the 'stable' branch to the 'development' repository.
As that link may be a bit hard to see, you can use this direct link:
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/en/index.shtml
Okay, so those are really the alternatives? I can't choose to install
build 124 now, since it's nowhere near the latest? I figured I must be
missing something that would let me do that.
Under the heading of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", I wouldn't
bother to change to the dev branch at this point. The next stable
"named" release is due out in a month or so (tentatively for late
March, though April is likely). This will be automatically available
via your current pkg repository. This release should be based on b133
or thereabouts.
Always an interesting question. I'm VERY interested in a fix in 122
(it's been preventing my backups from working decently for a YEAR; have
to do a full, can't do incrementals). I suspect I'll go to bleeding
edge, find one that works (which I hope will be the first week I try!),
and then stay there until the next stable is out, and flip back to
stable. Shouldn't need new features for a while :-).
