Remember to be careful - here be dragons etc ;-)

Everything is built, but the publishing stage (publishing to the local repo after a build) has been failing on a lot of packages due to pkgdepend errors. The errors are a result of me switching from "oi-build" as a publisher to "oi-experimental". This was so that the ci-build box can easily publish to pkg.oi.o/experimental without needing a lengthy set-publisher phase. I'm working on this and everything should be published soon.

Moving forwards it won't be an issue - it will "just work".

I've just shipped an empty gnome-incorporation to /experimental:

http://pkg.openindiana.org/experimental/info/0/pkg%3A%2F%2Foi-experimental%2Fconsolidation%2Fgnome%2Fgnome-incorporation%400.5.11%2C5.11-1.1%3A20111010T103810Z

Looking forward to irssi. Adding new bits of software requires running a script on the ci-master box then prodding jenkins to reload its config files. I'm going to try to find a way to do that automagically.

Cheers,

Alasdair
