[indiana-discuss] Building packages with IPS

[Anoop Rajendra]

Hi.

Just curious. Doesn't CBE build SVR4 style filesystem type package? Or
am I smokin' magic mushrooms?
I was able to start a pkg.depotd server easily enough.
Is there perhaps a tool that can push SVR4 style packages up to the
repository server? Or is it being worked on? This is something I think
I can help with, if it isn't already there.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
-anoop
