Those packages are a snapshot only. They should allow you to test
conary's waters a bit.
We don't currently have our own conary-repo yet. However, for testing
purposes you can already play with the predefined binary (Linux x86)
repo from rPath.
Also rPath's big src repo can already be tried for the "emerge" target.

For general info see:
http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Conary
e.g. http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Category:Conary_Commands
or http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Conary:conary_update

For checking out or contributing code:

The src is maintained in the following mercurial repo:

http://martux.org:8001/

to checkout: $ hg clone ssh://anon at www dot martux dot
org/hg/genericdistrobulk

password (also for commit access!!!) : "OpenSolarisIsGreat"

Feedback would be welcome.
p.s. I'm not available for a week, starting in 5 hours.

Cheers,
