SUNWbeadm.mf: pkg FMRIs reference b133. Is this OK? (Perhaps there
some automated tool in the gate that updates these with each build?)
Again, another file copy/pasted from what exists in slim_source. My
(limited) understanding is that 133 is correct and refers to when the
'great renaming' took place.
It's standard procedure for renaming a package - the "old" manifest
needs to have values hard-coded so that intermediate builds resolve
correctly. See usr/src/pkg/README.pkg in either slim_source or ON.
By pointing at 133, IPS can see the dependency on 133, and then pick
from any version of install/beadm@(133 or higher) - which allows it to
pick the correct version based on the system in use. On the other hand,
if SUNWbeadm.mf pointed at "install/be...@$(PKGVERS)" (where PKGVERS is
the current build, 144 for example), you'd be unable to install
SUNWbeadm on a system running, for example, 139. Note that the "old"
version of a renamed pkg stops getting published after the rename (at
least in official repos - nightly constructions of slim_source or ON
will create a "fresh" build 133 version of the renamed packages).

Otherwise, looks good.
Thanks Jack!
