Harry, I'm in the same situation. I refreshed a few application and would like to offer to the community. From what Nicola posted, I'm trying to set up a process to do this: There are 2 steps that I'm working on right now (well, late at night): 1 - How to make an IPS package (found some docs here and there including oracle website) 2 - How to make a clean and reproducible environment to : 2.1 - compile/build 2.2 - test install and software
The first one seems quite simple and writing a simple process to do it shouldn't take long. The second one is a bit trickier as I'm not familiar with zones and vbox seems a bit overkill for this task. If I have to step in, I have this problem as well, and would like to have an answer, which is to define what compiler I should use : 1 - stay as close as possible to oracle solaris using SunStudio 2 - GNU userland and compilers and which version should I aim for. It seems that some decisions have to be made, indeed. Best regards.

Thanks for all the helpful information you've been posting. I want to step off into helping in some low level way to get oi and hipster up to speed. Trying to work that in to something I need done ... turns out to be sendmail. Unless I've really missed some important things (which is not at all unlikely) It seems I am not able to get a working sendmail setup going. I suspect pilot error, but it actually appears that something may be wrong with the way sendmail.cf gets generated. I will need to put the rest into a different post but please try to explain once more how I should go about this. Currently I've download the latest sendmail sources and compiled them. I haven't installed as yet. So lets say I want to bring the sendmail oi/hip uses more up to date. If I just build and install and start using it... I've only made my own oi/hip install un-updateable... what to do? It may be best to wait until I post about what I think may be a sendmail pkg bug and get some help in determining if it is really a bug. Please watch for post...
