Our community site counts visits. Questions about IPS and Solaris 11 have are visited more often, by about 1 order of magnitude.
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/~maciej/ips-questions.png We're an open source project, so the sole reason why we don't have an IPS repository is that nobody did it yet. From my conversation with Dago about it, there are 2 things that need to be done: 1. IPS backend for GAR 2. build environment - somebody has to administer it I also know that some of our maintainers effectively got inactive because they mainly need / build IPS packages, and we don't have a framework to do that. Each time we talk about IPS, we look a bit like this: http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y462/staffpicks/Animated_GIFs/startrek-1.gif Maybe we should get something going, something quick and dirty? It might be something like running "mgar merge" and then a completely different command to build the package? That would be completely fine for now. If the resulting IPS catalog would be in someone's home dir, that would be fine too. When it's done we can move it to a common place. If packages were built on somebody's VM, that would be fine too. Does anybody here manage Solaris 11 hosts? Maciej
