Actually i was half way through :) so, 1. get the package "Along with all metadata etc" from the repo using the "pkgrecv" command. pkgrecv -d tTemp -s "http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/"; "web/aget" 2. open the manifest.file and look for the entry for "group=bin" and path= something that looks familiar to the path where all binary files are stored. 3. the attribute file ... gives the filename of the binary (Its actually in hash form). Just a test : cp <the hash filename> <name of binary> chmod +x <name of binary> ./<name of binary> there you go , the binary executes :) Actually this was step 1 to create a RPM from IPS package. It would be more useful to mirror the whole IPS repo and then do the conversion locally.
