Um - the important bit in my message was of course "once a newer version is
available". :-7

I'm not sure whether upgrading images from "stable" to "testing" is still
worth the effort - a significant number of packages has changed in testing.

I'd be surprised if Solaris didn't have some equivalent of loop mounts, but
I have little experience with it. BTW, I think if you really wanted to, you 
could use the "isoinfo" and "isodump" utilities to extract the files inside 
the image.

Allowing jigdo to read the old image directly rather than requiring you to
loop-mount it has been on my TODO list for ages, but it won't be
implemented soon. :-/

No idea - better ask on debian-sparc@lists.d.o for that.

All the best,
