With regards to IPS (packaging system), is it possible to keep the release repository/tree as default authority yet install selective packages fro the dev repository? I want to upgrade to Firefox 3.5 but I want a stable environment for everything else. When I try to update to SUNWfirefox from dev repo using IPS GUI (ipkg-gui), it fails and I get the * (indicates updates available) for lots of other packages. Effectively it breaks the IPS tree. To get it back I have to uninstall the SUNWfirefox package and remove the dev repostiory from my list of authorities.
The way the software is packaged prevents mixing and matching /dev and /release packages intentionally. So, no, there is no supported way of doing this.
Currently I'm using build 111 (OpenSolaris 2009.06 + update from 111b to 111) and for the first time everything works, loving it. I don't want to test the waters with build 118 on this laptop. However I have some small issues with 3.1b... well, it's a beta after all.
As someone else suggested, your best option is to download FireFox 3.5 from the Mozilla website and install and use that.
