Can someone write a word about http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev-il/ repository?
Thanks and regards.

This page seems to be outdated and it would be useful to know what active repositories actually exist and how or and why you might want to use them. Right now I'm using on-nightly but dev-il also exists. I've not seen an on-nightly update in some time so I'm wondering if I should be using dev-il to stay at the bleeding edge (or not). Also, it isn't clear how to transition from one or the other or to do a new install to a particular repository.
I'm not really in a position to help with development but I can use even the bleeding edge code and report problems as they occur. It isn't much but it is a way I might be able to contribute a little.

I can see that none of the comments and notes have a date stamp on them. This make one wonder if what is being read belongs to a now, or 2 years ago!. I am quite interested in openindiana, but I can see that it looks like itś not growing as it was when pushed by solaris. Maybe these forks are not good ideas?
anyways... day stamps please!!!

This page (excluding comments) is dated September 22, 2010 which is very early on in the OpenIndiana project. It is certainly out of date and doesn't list the on-nightly or dev-il repositories and does list the illumos repository which as far as I know has never been implemented. I wish somebody in the know would update this page to reflect current reality.

Repo don't change much. I've cleaned up a bit, but haven't published /dev-il except in the comment here, as its extremely dangerous
The /dev repo is the main tested but not yet stable repo. Its currently what everyone is using, as a stable build is incoming.
/dev-il is the bleeding edge repo, using it may completely break you OI system. Only use if you accept that risk and want to see / help the OI developers in testing or developer but at high cost.
The illumos integration repo is now a part of dev-il and will soon be completely standard through dev and stable. on-nightly was prior to the gate closing, so is obsolete.
HTH,

So,
is it "smart" to use this repo (i see no changes, after 151a release)?

OK,
my apologies (wasn't reading previous comment carefully).
I have question:
let's say that i am accepting risk of use of http://pkg.openindiana.org/experimental repository packages, how can i use it at best?
Currently I am using:
pkg publisher -a
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
openindiana.org (preferred) origin online http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/
sfe origin online http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/
sfe-encumbered origin online http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered/
Is it safe to replace /dev with /experimental and keep /sfe* repositories?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

I know the experimental repository is bleeding edge and I don't have an account, so I don't know how to report an issue with it. When I try to do an image update using experminetal I get an error on vim. I removed it and got the update done but then trying to get vim back I got an error:
Packages to install: 2
Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No
DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB)

I'm guessing that there is something amiss with the repository.

Probably best off reporting bugs @ https://www.illumos.org/projects/oi-sfe

The problem was with the "experimental" repository, not sfe.

This project is interesting. If you can't update your install,, what good is it for? I've tried over and over again to update,, but no cigar.
maybe later

To be clear the question asked by new users is.....when I update to hipster the IPS UI disappears. This leaves no ISO mechanism to upload repro programs or updates. So what value has hipster got if you cannot update it as a user?
