+ Last illumos-joyent commit:  d21e83058c8edeb1becd9202380d088cb056f0c4
+ 
+ This is an attempt to port over LX zones into OmniOS.  It's going to be a long,
+ painful slog, and I don't mean the ZFS kind, either.  :)
+ 
+ An IPS repo that matches public updates of the r151019 bloody repo can be
+ found at http:/pkg.omniti.com/omnios/LX/.  ipkg and lipkg zones can boot,
+ appear to be fully functional, but need more testing.  LX zones can be
+ installed using ZFS send streams (gzipped or uncompressed) from Joyent's
+ images, or from tarballs often used for Docker image setup.  The
+ "kernel-version" attribute must be set by the administrator to match the
+ installed image.  For example:
+ 
+         # zonecfg -z lx0 export
+         create -b
+         set zonepath=/zones/lx0
+         set brand=lx
+         set autoboot=false
+         set ip-type=exclusive
+         add net
+         set physical=lx0
+         end
+         add attr
+         set name=kernel-version
+         set type=string
+         set value=2.6.32
+         end
+         #
+ 
+ This matches a CentOS 6.8 image from Joyent.  To install the image:
+ 
+      zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/path/to/centos68.gz
+ 
+ A tarball install uses the -t flag instead:
+ 
+      zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/path/to/docker-ubuntu.tgz
+ 
+ Effective September 1st, one can use SmartOS-style IP address and DNS
+ configuration using zonecfg parameters.  Here's the above zone with a pre-
+ configured set of networking parameters:
+ 
+         # zonecfg -z lx0 export
+         create -b
+         set zonepath=/zones/lx0
+         set brand=lx
+         set autoboot=false
+         set ip-type=exclusive
+         add net
+         set physical=lx0
+         add property (name=gateway,value="192.168.0.1")
+         add property (name=ips,value="192.168.0.69/24")
+         add property (name=primary,value="true")
+         end
+         add attr
+         set name=dns-domain
+         set type=string
+         set value=example.com
+         end
+         add attr
+         set name=resolvers
+         set type=string
+         set value=192.168.0.1
+         end
+         add attr
+         set name=kernel-version
+         set type=string
+         set value=2.6.32
+         end
+         #
+ 
+ You'd obtain the .gz file from Joyent's image servers.
+ 
+ LX zones boot, and if not configured with zonecfg(1M), one needs to use
+ /native tools and/or scripts to configure networking on them.  (NOTE:  This
+ follows the OmniOS adminstrative model for zones.)  LX zones need even more
+ testing than ipkg/lipkg zones, but appear to at least boot and allow both
+ "zlogin -C" console logins and "zlogin" direct logins.  Some distros do not
+ present a console login on the first boot, and the zone may need to be
+ rebooted
+ 
+ I reserve the right to burn this repo to the ground and start fresh.
+ 
+ This repo also has the "joyent" branch, which is a downstream of illumos-joyent.
