I wanted to give a status on this work:

Completed:
- tar.bz2 files for rpm5, smart and createrepo.
- an IPS repo containing rpm5.

These are on my computer, and I've tested these on clean boot
environments and everything works well.
I've tested a build of nginx across boot environments, and all's well
on that front.

What's next:
- rpm dev tools - I intend to have a look at what Fedora publishes,
and see which of these we should take.
- Publish an IPS repo at ips.belenix.org to contain rpm5
- Publish an RPM repo at belenix.org to contain smart and createrepo

For the belenix.org work, I'll need access from Moinak/Angad. I expect
that the tar.bz2 files would get uploaded only by Tuesday night India
time.

I also tried to build smartos, but am facing some errors. I think that
providing rpm5 + smart on SmartOS would be useful to have, and could
become the foundation of "Belenix - Data Centre Edition" (or something
like that).
