Andrzej, oi_151a8 is still based on sfw-gate, wouldn't be better to resurrect /experimental which was based on illumos-userland?
To me it was hard to manage different IPS versions along with the build environments/zones because some were based on /experimental while my main host was /dev. Another source of confusion are 3 different source repositories: sfw, oi-build and illumos-userland. Which one to use if I need a new package on my production systems? and no, I don't want to touch SFW anymore :) Maybe create another version based on illumos-userland in the /dev let say oi_152a1 or something? Btw, someone mentioned about some libffi issues on oi_151a8. I barely checked that and it seems pkg and python do work but I don't know what the issue was. Is that fixed?
