Hello Glynn,
I know that on Indiana there is no need to bother about getting IPS from 
sources.

We do have plenty of spec-files on SFE which are not available through 
IPS. Please correct me if I am wrong, but for people from community the 
only way of getting this software is by building using Common Build 
Environment.

CBE is available on the Nevada but is not on Indiana, so the easiest way 
of getting those packages to Indiana is to build them on Nevada (with 
indiana flag) and than sending to any IPS server, which might also run 
on Indiana box.

For this people need to have IPS running on Nevada.

So my intention was to show the easiest (In my opinion) way of doing that :)

Summarizing:
                           Nevada     Indiana
Can IPS server run:         yes         yes
Is CBE available:           yes         no

am I wrong?

best
Michal
