Chris, I have created two from four movies called "Create your own OpenSolaris IPS repository in a Weekend" which will cover process from making packages (SVR4), creating ips repository and sending those packages to the ips repository. This will also show how to use script solaris.py which is available on the hg repository of the pkg project.
