I hope before you stop releasing SXCE you'll provide all
tools to build OpenSolaris from source code on OpenSolaris platform.
As far as I know today is very hard to build OpenSolaris distribution
on OpenSolaris even if we have closed binaries included. We still need
SXCE to do it.
Part of what is being planned is ensuring that consolidations can
natively create IPS packages, so a lot of the heavy lifting that has
been on in the past (using the solaris.py script from the IPS gate)
won't be necessary. However, folks have been building ON on OpenSolaris
for a while now -

Hopefully Liane can fill in some of the details here.
I build the ON consolidation on OpenSolaris nightly to make sure it works
As the page Glynn references says, if there are any problems with
doing so, please mail on-disc...@opensolaris.org. It's a primary goal
that there are no problems, and if there are problems, the workarounds are
at least documented.
