Get the full Solaris 11 IPS support repository without pkgrecv?

Hello,

Question:  Where can I download a single or multi-part "snapshot" of the current full support repository so that I can set up a local, file-based, mirror?

Background:

If I understand things correctly, to do an "any-to-any" Solaris 11.x upgrade I need the full (70GB+) IPS support repository.  i.e. Not just 11.3 plus latest SRU. 

(This is based on:  ).

I've got a number of Solaris 11.x machines behind a firewall with no direct internet access.  Yet, all the docs I've seen suggest mirroring the main support repo via "pkgrecv".  

Worst case, I can try and set up a Solaris 11.3 machine with internet access to use pkgrecv.  After that, is it just a matter of tarring up the on-disk folders to move them to a local file share, or will more pre/post processing be needed?
