You cannot update this package simply by updating the java-incorporation package, because this package is in turn constrained by the pkg:/entire incorporation package. Oracle Solaris 11.1 installs Java SE 7 packages that are version-constrained by the java-incorporation package. The software updated in this example is Java.įor more information about incorporations, see “Structure of Oracle Solaris 11 Software” in the article “More Tips for Updating Your Oracle Solaris 11 System from the Oracle Support Repository.” How to Update Java Software in Oracle Solaris 11.1 This article describes how to update one piece of software that is constrained by an incorporation without altering any other software that is constrained by that incorporation, and still end up with a supported system.
For example, you might need to install a security update. Sometimes you need to install software that is constrained by an incorporation at a different version than the incorporation allows. In general, the supported way to update a package whose version is constrained by an incorporation is to update the incorporation package. If you try to install a different version of a package whose version is constrained by an incorporation, you will receive an error message and the update or install operation will fail. So the set of packages affected by an incorporation-or constrained by the incorporation-can be much larger than the set named in the incorporation package. Packages named in an incorporation might themselves be incorporations or might require a particular version of another package to be installed. Oracle Solaris 11 keeps specific sets of software together by using special packages called incorporations, which specify versions of packages that can be installed. Usually, best practice is to update system software together, as a tested-together supported set. Java is part of the Oracle Solaris 11 system software. Java might be updated multiple times in an Oracle Solaris release, so you should follow this procedure periodically. This article describes how to update Java without updating any other software.
