That's correct, I can "test" on the test box, approved things. Mainly that's vendor provided software and IBM provided software. I can only pull from IBM's yum repo and actually I have to use a secure VM (not my laptop) and clone the repo to the machine because it's not allowed to talk across the internet, to anything but IBM service. I had to get a C-level exec involved to be able to use qsys2.group_ptf_info and systools.group_ptf_currency.
Life was much easier when I worked in manufacturing and distribution.

Seriously? With IBM's declaration that the yum repository is _the_ successor to the OPS product surely that should be enough?
Well, there's a bit of subtlety. Coy said *IBM's* repository. Right
now, Mono is in what amounts to a third-party repository.
Of course, Coy also said that he can only do testing with IBM's repo,
not production, and that is kind of a mind-boggler.
That caught my eye as well, John. But thinking about it some more, while I don't know if this is Coy's case, some companies allow things on their development box - build utilities and test platforms and such - that they don't allow on their production machine.
