Victor,
StarlingX has two mechanisms for updating software on a running system: - updates (also known as patching): This allows the user to build an updated version of a set of RPMs, bundle them into a patch file and apply them to a running system. We are also working on an update mechanism for containerized applications, which will allow new versions the docker images for an application to be deployed to a running system. Is this process being used to build patches between the daily/weekly builds? Can we even patch between these? If I understand this uses the "smart" package manager, or is that for the upgrade process?
I understand that there is not yet a process for updating the containers, is there a specification being worked on for describing how the containerized applications will be updated? Sau!
- upgrades: This allows the user to upgrade a running system from one StarlingX release to the next, including the OS, RPMs and applications. This mechanism will only be supported when moving between StarlingX releases - any fixes delivered to an existing release will use the update mechanism.
The update mechanism would be used to deliver a CVE fix (as per your example) to a running system.

Hi
Based on recommendations from Michael I am going to rewrite my question:
I have a server, all in one with STX simplex configuration but I installed the ISO like a month ago, now I want to get the latest version of STX
I think this a really important part of the project. I don't see myself as sysadmin with a new CVE fixed in the latest version of starling x and have to reinstall the full iso in all my nodes. I was pretty sure we had this component like starling x update.
Any feedback more than welcome, if this is already a project under development is perfect if not, we might spend some time discussing it
Regards
Victor Rodriguez
Something like preupg or update-manager in the case of Centos and Ubuntu

Hi team
I would like to know more about the image update mechanism we have in starting X. I have a simplex system installed and I want to keep my system updated with the latest version released in http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/ but I don't want to reinstall the full ISO again every week. Is there any way to do a sw update in the starling x system so I keep my infrastructure updated w/o having to reinstall the ISO?
Thanks a lot
Regards
Victor Rodriguez
