Update the Ixolate plugin

The Ixolate plugin (os-theme-ixolate) carries the branding, the Updates & Subscription page, activation, and repository configuration. It is updated like any other package: System › Updates & Subscription › Check for updates lists it with the other available updates.

Normal case

Either use the page above, or from a root shell:

pkg update -r ixolate
pkg upgrade -y os-theme-ixolate

Branding is re-applied automatically after the package installs and after every operating-system update.

Check the result:

pkg query %v os-theme-ixolate
grep url: /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ixolate.conf

The URL must read https://repo.ixolate.com/ixolate/all.

Boxes with an obsolete repository source

An older box may use an obsolete update source and fail to see the current release. Pull the package directly once:

pkg add -f https://repo.ixolate.com/ixolate/all/os-theme-ixolate.pkg
pkg update -r ixolate

After this one-time step the repository file points at the public domain and the normal case applies. The -f option reinstalls when pkg believes the current package is already present.

After an operating-system series jump

When support moves a box to a new series, the theme is rebuilt from the new core during the first boot. Run the plugin update once afterwards so the plugin itself is current:

pkg update -r ixolate && pkg upgrade -y os-theme-ixolate
