Maybe you need to update OI hipster with pkg update -v first?
Current 'entire' is versioned 2015.0.2.1 so probably you need to pkg 
update -v first.

OI hipster ISOs are not releases per se, where packages are frozen utill 
next release or are provided with updates in separate publisher as it 
would be for supported release,
hipster is rolling release model used for development and testing and 
one can update to newest bits before installing newest packages from 
publisher.

Also there are development zones where one would actually install 
development packages in it's own ZFS dataset.
That way one can have multiple independent build environments and clone 
and reinstall zones instead of reinstalling main machine and use 
networking virtualization between zones and outside world for 
infrastructure deployment simulations etc.
