Hey shawn, There seems to be some confusion . I am aware of the link you pointed to which is the IPS mirroring link http://opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/Mirroring/ and mirroring has the limitations I have pointed out.
But <http://blogs.sun.com/sunwg11nprg/entry/how_to_create_opensolaris_distribution1>http://blogs.sun.com/sunwg11nprg/entry/how_to_create_opensolaris_distribution1 this link talks about <http://blogs.sun.com/sunwg11nprg/entry/how_to_create_opensolaris_distribution1>1) downloading the code hg clone ssh://[email protected]/hg/pkg/gate pkg-gate 2)* building pkg-gate* cd pkg-gate/src $ make $ make packages 3) start a empty IPS repository 4) Publish the packages into repository Does such a method exists where you can compile the sources and have a script that will publish packages into local IPS repository. This link exactly talks about that but it says it needs a SWAN access ???
