With regards to IPS (packaging system), is it possible to keep the

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.
What is it specifically that does this? The /dev pkgs depend on each other, or
something more subtle?
