The install team is planning to provide support to install from a IPS repo. We would like to get some information on when/how "offline IPS support" will be provided. Do you have any information I can look at to learn more about this?
I'm sorry I hadn't had a chance to respond to your inquiry from this morning yet, but, I'll assume this post is a continuation of that and that you are inquiring about the "repo-on-a-stick" project.
I've attached the draft README which explains this media offering.To expound a bit though, there are multiple things that could be viewed as off-line support:
* a copy of the 2009.06 repository suitable for private networks or "offline" usage (see above)
* The ability for the pkg(1) client to retrieve packages from a repository on-disk (estimated to arrive late this year)
* The on-disk package format that pkg(5) will provide (estimated to arrive late this year)
