I would also go with default locations. > 2. Package Repositories: How want we handle our concept of catalogs unstable, > testing, ... Want we cover this with different repositories/publishers? I am not sure about this one, also not about the drawbacks of either solution. It should be possible to mix and match packages from different catalogs. > 3.

Right, I thought about that too, it should be fairly easy as GAR can already build multiple trees for one package, however we don’t have one for Sparc *and* x86 in one recipe. There are some adjustments in gar.conf.mk needed. But this is definitely needed. Having one tree for Sparc and x86 is very important IMHO.
