SUMMARY
=======
The image packaging system, pkg(5), is a portable software
packaging and delivery system intended to allow efficient,
observable, and controllable transitions between known
configurations of software content.  pkg(5) will subsume the
functionality of the of the packaging and patching utilities
included in historical Solaris releases.  A primary goal for
this project is to improve and extend the usability and
functionality of our packaging system.

The project includes a set of recommended changes to the
existing software groupings--the package definitions--in an
attempt to produce a more rational and flexible organization of
 the current components.
