The easiest way is to just get the old version from the package and use pkgrm/pkgadd.

Thats it basically. However, I strongly suggest to moving to ZFS root and using different boot environments to do this. Making a snapshot takes only a second and going back is just a reboot away.

This is definitely what you want to do but if for some reason you can't, you'll want to have copies of: /etc/opt/csw /opt/csw/ /var/opt/csw The reason to keep these, in addition to doing the manual pkgrm/pkgadd that Dago suggested is that it may make it easier to revert configs in the event that the update triggers a migration from /opt/csw/etc to /etc/opt/csw as it most surely will with the package set you listed. This is _way_ more work than using a boot environment though.

Instead of individual catalog/arch/release atom feeds, there are now whole catalog feeds that incorporate the changes across everything we call 'unstable' or 'dublin.'

Cool, I was wondering whether we can improve on the format of these emails? Is it supposed to be consumed primarily by machines or humans?

There are currently two feeds announced in the metadata at http://www.opencsw.org/feeds/ which are I suggest adding the other feeds also.
