Possible sources of work to leverage from to setup a central repository: - SFW - CCD - spec-files-extra(SFE) - Nexenta repos - NetBSD repos - Blastwave The tooling used for SFE currently output SVR4 packages. I believe they are being worked to output IPS packages. Enhancing the SFE repository for the time being might be a easy means to quickly populate the IPS repository once it is setup. Shall we have setting up of IPS repository as a project proposal and get going? Without this the utility of the distro is severely constrained. If there is interest I would like to help with this effort. regards Shiv _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
