I've started trying to package some software for OmniOS for personal use. The OmniOS Packaging page in the wiki goes through how to do it using the tools used to build the OS. This is a bit more than I would want to do when publishing software to GitHub. I would rather not rely on a repository used to build the OS just to package one piece of software.

A few months ago I was trying to package a personal project and got most of the way there! So far there is a make target that will package an Erlang release into an IPS package. I think it only got as far as putting the files on disk. I still to add the SMF manifest and fix permissions, but it's much smaller when used to package a single piece of software.
