Publishing packages to repositories using IPS on Oracle Solaris 11 Express

Nice!

I am not sure how companies will respond to this. A lot of time/money/effort has gone into SVR4 packages and to change the system makes CIO's not too happy. Also, what about the simple situation where I just want to add an Apache web server with pkgadd? I don't want to go through all of the hassles of setting up this IPS system for a quick one hit install. My vote --- too complex and cumersom to setup compared to simple pkgadd ( solaris ) or rpm ( RedHat ).

three issues I noticed

- math.h is reuired and that fmri does not get picked up by pkgdepend resolve file-deps.bzr. manually add it to file-deps.bzr.res depend fmri=pkg:/system/library/math/­header-math@0.5.11-0.151.0.1 type=require

- does not like alpha character in bzr@version in version number version = 2.4.b1 fails version = 2.4 works

- usr/man is symlink to usr/share/man so it fails. workaround: you could cp -p -r share/man man under usr and then it install will work
