Dear users,
I've added kvmadm version 0.12.3 to the SFE Omnios and OI-Hipster repositories. Please note that for selected OmniOS Releases you can get kvmadm from the OS-Distro repositories also. I'll try to have always the latest+greates kvmadm version on the repo. If you need kvmadm for an older version of OmniOS (e.g. 151014), then drop me a note.
Update: Ansible package Solaris 11 (X86) is now ready! (20171011)
Hi all,
just dropping you a note about ansible. It may not yet propperly work in the revision it is in the localhosts11 repository.
Add perdition (imap + pop3 redirector)
DCC and Spamassassin

Edit (20170826): The new URL for OmniOSce is:
A quick note on the recent news from OmniTI handing over support for the OmniOS distribution.
OmniOS 151022 is released. It is a LTS version aimed to get supported by the community now. Please speak up if you want to helpo or have ideas how to get the right setup.
At the moment this is a draft, but I wanted to let you know immediatly what I learned today.
Some weeks ago I've got a sparc machine for sparc builds of SFE packages. The ILOM is already tested, but it'll take another while until I can setup the OS and integrate the SFE CBE (Common build Environment). Currently a long awaited side project is the cause for delays: A fully integrated CBE package for the build environment that turned out to be a larger project then I thought. I think I'll postpone that CBE-package and instead do a manual setup of the CBE now.
If anyone of you is at FOSDEM too, I would appreciate having a chat. In case you have really good story around Solaris / OpenIndiana OmniOS, I can offer we do a short audio recording. No large preparation needed from your side. I'll bring a nice audio recorder and two headsets, extendable to 4 people.

(Update 20160107 - There is a fresh verison 5.2.4.2 in the IPS repository and the term "testing" is faiding out)
Hey brave Solaris 11 users,
if you are keen enough, you may try out Libreoffice 5.2.3.3 now.
This is a completely untested package from the developing development development repository.
If you attent the #33C3 conference in Hamburg next week and want to talk about ZFS, Solaris, OpenIndiana, OmniOS and fine packages of the SFE project, then please drop me a note!
I'm sure you want to know if LibreOffice5 is now available on our solarish-type OS after a successfull year with LibreOffice4?
I would be very happy to have a chat with you or even go into deeper discussions. We can talk in english or german language.

If you want to install extra packages for Solaris 11, OpenIndiana or OmniOSce, then this is the place telling you how to configure the package repositories on your system. To see the available packages in your Browser go to section "Browse", to configure te IPS repository go to section "Publisher" and select the one matching your Operating System. And in any case you have questions, then please ask me on twitter @sfepacakges or by email on sfepackages at g mail dot com.

These repositories are 1:1 copies from the build machines, so please expect contents to change frequently and as well, the content may have bugs. Drop me a note (in the comments, or by email) if a package works (yeah, we like that!) or breaks for you (we need to know that).
One day there will be a process which establishes a voting system. It should be used to promote packages from the development repositories to a public release repository. If you have ideas, how a test / promotion process should look like, please let me know (in the comments or by email).
If you are a programmer who can create or at least design a web workflow for the package promotion, then please get in contact very soon to discuss possibilities.
What we need as well for SFE are volunteers for testing the packages. Would you like to be one?
These are development repositories but good for normal use.
For production use, you can compile packages yourself, or, help us building up a "release" repository with QA and a voting website to get packages promoted to "release".
Please do *not* mirror these development repositories. You can download the package and prerequisite packages with special switch "-r" to the pkgrecv command. That saves capacities on the server. I'm sure you understand that mirroring 18Gbytes for the whole repository is not the right thing to do.
Once a release repository exists, you are welcome to mirror this (though we understand that it only makes sense in very, very rare cases).
Thank you!
Please keep in mind: You can install any exact package version if you specify the *complete* FMRI listed including the timestamp.
Example:
pkg list -avf postfix
[...]
pkg://localhosts11/sfe/service/network/smtp/postfix@3.0.3,5.11-0.0.175.3.1.0.5.0:20160108T10293
[...]
To install exaclty that version and no other, use:
pfexec pkg install -v pkg://localhosts11/sfe/service/network/smtp/postfix@3.0.3,5.11-0.0.175.3.1.0.5.0:20160108T10293
This way, you could install exactly an *older* or a *newer* package then the resolver would auto-select for you. This enables you to help yourself, in case we have a broken package in these build repositories. You simply install another version which is working for you.
Using https for the IPS package repositires is the default now (20200111), but you can still use the same URLs to the repos with http if you prefer.
