Ok, I will stick to the original plan then which would be:
- a repository for each S11 release (read+only)
- additional repository(s) for extra in-house software + finish
scripts, etc.
For network installs one will have to choose which version is to be installed
and a default.xml will be adjusted to point to the proper repository (plus
network miniroot needs to match as well).
Does it make sense?

If by the network you mean an access to a repository on *internal* network,
then yes, this is exactly the plan.

Right. For now I used full_repo.iso provided by Oracle.
