ESR Mozilla releases are more important and thare is also working 
contributed build in /contribute dir under releases on ftp.mozilla.org, 
contributed by Oracle, that works (I put them into /opt/sfw/lib and ln 
-s program it to /opt/sfw/bin)

I do not recommend installing from clean install from Hipster ISO for 
any kind of semi-production or any use, but testing new freshly made 
packages, because it also breaks /dev updating from Openindiana
and Hipster ISOs serves no purpose but designating snapshot in Hipster, 
from lack of 'entire' releases.
Hipster also still does not have updatemanager and packagemanager GUI, 
and that is needed to be able to update and show updates to user 
automatically, as in /dev.

You actually need to include yourself in contribution on making sure 
/dev is exactly updatable to Hipster, and vice versa, because otherwise 
it could be never production ready, because Hipster is not meant to be 
so in the first place.
