Yes, I have done an ipkg zone on SXCE. My motivation was to be able
to use AI to install the 2008.11 preview on an LDom. My notes appear
below. I believe that they are fairly complete for initial
bootstrapping. Note that there is a bit of "git r done" in it, rather
than generating appropriate source code fixes.
What do you perceive as the motivation for ipkg zones on S10? If I
squint just right, I think that I can see the mapping of packages,
patches, update releases, etc. to IPS constructs. Is this what you
have in mind, or something else? I assume that with SXCE your plan of
attack would be to leverage the work done for the opensolaris distro
for ips branded zones. Is that a reasonable assumption?
Anyway, here was my first run through this effort. Starting point is
a SXCE 108 T5120 with SUWNCXall, zfs root
1. Get pkg-gate from mercurial
$ hg clone ssh://a...@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/pkg/gate
destination directory: gate
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 1040 changesets with 13427 changes to 7444 files
4779 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
2. Build pkg
$ export PATH=$PATH:/apps/studio12/SUNWspro/bin
$ cd gate/src
$ make
$ make packages
3. Install packages
# cd gate/packages
# pkgadd -d . all
4. Fake global zone's notion of entire
Modify /usr/lib/brand/ipkg/pkgcreatezone. Just before the point where it
would error out, force it to match the SXCE build of the global zone.
entire_fmri="ent...@0.5.11,5.11-0.108"
if [[ -z $entire_fmri ]]; then
fail_incomplete "$f_no_entire"
fi
5. Create the zone
# zonecfg -z ipkg
ipkg: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:ipkg> create -t SUNWipkg
zonecfg:ipkg> set zonepath=/zones/ipkg
zonecfg:ipkg> set autoboot=false
# set up network as well
zonecfg:ipkg> verify
zonecfg:ipkg> commit
zonecfg:ipkg> exit
6. Install the zone
# export http_proxy=<insert proxy here>
# zoneadm -z ipkg install -P opensolaris.org=http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
pkg: No image found.
Publisher: Using opensolaris.org (http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/).

Next Steps: Boot the zone, then log into the zone console
(zlogin -C) to complete the configuration process
7. Configure the zone
# zoneadm -z ipkg boot ; zlogin -C ipkg
[Connected to zone 'ipkg' console]
Hostname: ipkg
Loading smf(5) service descriptions: 1/68
8. Install installadm, java
These steps could be done more efficiently... it was trial and error
to get the packages I needed.
r...@ipkg:~# pkg install SUNWinstalladm-tools

PHASE ACTIONS

I did the same for SUNWless, SUNWmkcd, SUNWrsync. I forget whether I
needed to this for SUNWdsd or not.
Import the services...
r...@ipkg:~# svcadm restart manifest-import
Beyond this I got into a fair amount of trial and error, specifically
related to getting AI and DHCP to work. This isn't really needed for
a generic ipkg zone, however.
