We have the tech there. Well adapted for our needs. APT+DPKG based Illumos distro is not unpopular. Some distros even use RPM.
Most historic APT+DPKG based distros already dead, only DilOS is left now. So we could have a look at DilOS, the way they patched and utilizing APT+DPKG and we can even co-operate with them, if both side wanted. We already see too many problems of the IPS pkg. Could we switch to another path? I know compatibility haunted us. But recently we broke it already. It's no longer the holy grail we have to keep at all cost anymore. Could we patch our oi-userland to generate DEB packages alongside of IPS packages? The DilOS people has figured out how to build illumos-gate into DEB packages already. This will not as hard as doing from scratch as we have many references.
