It isn't mean to be in SXCE, so wasn't put there. I think you
misunderstand its purpose.
Maybe IPS was not developed for integration, then I could understand
why it did not appear on SXCE.
IPS will not be used by e.g. swiss banks the way it currently works.
They do not have internet on their servers. They have additional
security components in their caverns in the mountains, they call these
security components machine guns.... In order to get an OS on their
servers, they like to have granted reproducability without network
access. This worked with SXCE but this does not work with indina.
You don't need network access to install packages using pkg(5).
While it's true that in b134 you had to at least start a depot server,
you could so on the local system itself.
In builds 142+, you can actually configure the client to use a package
repository on a filesystem directly so a depot server isn't required.
The on-disk format for repositories is intended to be formalised soon
(and this is no secret -- just watch pkg-discuss) and an on-disk archive
format delivered.
Cheers,
