Keep Your Stuff To Yourself --> it was THE design decision behind OmniOS.  apache is part of that.  Hell, recent discussions have convinced me that openjdk needs to go away completely as well (we only have it because of illumos's poold).

OmniTI publishes, but doesn't support publicly, the "omniti-ms" repo, which contains a LOT of extras.  Basically, it's the repo that OmniTI uses in-house for its deployments.  I JUST put back a change that allows its packages to be more forgiving in the face of OmniOS upgrades (e.g. a package built for r151014 should work on r151014 AND LATER, not just r151014).

	pkg add-publisher -g http://pkg.omniti.com/omniti-ms/ ms.omniti.com

As I said, though, it's not officially supported for anyone beyond OmniTI internal users, but it's available for anyone who wants to Just Use It.  And it has a source repo, similar to the omnios-build one:

	https://github.com/omniti-labs/omniti-ms/

it's a bit more simplistic than omnios-build, however (no buildctl, and you just invoke individual build.sh as you see fit).
