Nearly all package systems have repositories, what makes IPS more intolerable
than the rest?   (Or had you just not noticed that support for package archives,
basically tarball versions of IPS packages, was added to IPS in years past?
It wasn't there in the 0.1 version used in the initial OpenSolaris releases,
but that was what the kids today call "Minimum Viable Product" not the intended
final state of features.)
