Yep. That's the goal. As usual, work is required (and is ongoing) to make it a reality. At least one other consolidation has experimented with publishing regular IPS repos. (Though there are some unfortunate caveats, and it hasn't been updated in quite a while.) http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/documents/installing_from_ips/ I'm just slower. Though once we've made the distribution creation step able to take IPS repos in, it'll be easier to convince consolidations to move. liane
