Has anyone been able to successfully install IPS packages on OpenSolaris (I have RC2a) from the blastwave repository? I found instructions on how to add additional repositories and after I added both blastwave and sunfreeware repositories and restarted packagemanager, the new repositories showed up. Selecting them shows a reasonable looking list of packages. Most of the time when I try to install a package from blastwave, the download gets part way through and then just stops. The opensolaris.org and sunfreeware repositories seem to work fine so far.
One thing I noticed was that in some cases the list of dependencies had duplicates. In particular, IPScommon was repeated many times in the list of dependencies for IPSemacs, which didn't seem right. I then tried installing packages one at a time from the dependency list and managed to get the following IPS packages installed from the Blastwave repository: IPScommon IPSexpat IPSggettext IPSiconv IPSsunmath If I now look at the dependencies for IPSglib, I see a long list including IPSgtk2, IPSpango, IPSlibcairo, etc. It seems to me that these are not dependencies of IPSglib but rather packages that depend on IPSglib. When I try to install IPSglib now, the Install/Upgrade Check window comes up and says it is checking package dependencies but it never finishes. Showing details reveals that it is evaluating packages over and over. I see it evaluating IPScommon repeatedly. Could there be a dependency cycle?
