This kind of goes along with the freenx post that just came in. I've spent the last three weeks building our first OpenIndiana server intended for production use. I had to compile from source several pieces of software that didn't seem to be in the repositories that came loaded with OI. I

Well, ideally, if every one of us who needed to install a piece of software that wasn't available in package form would make and sponsor an IPS package for it, I think that would be the best thing. But I, for one, am not real keen on learning how to make IPS packages -- especially since so

For most (?) of us, we build a server once or twice a year. Some of us, build them hundreds at time, multiple times per year -- then multiply zones on top of that. Some might do it thousands of times per year. We may not be trying to solve the types of problems. For what it is worth,
