Let me try it it again.
This is my understanding of difference between regular
packages(rpm,pkgadd,swdepot,lpp..) and ips' package.
package: A package is a collection of files, directories, links,
drivers,scripts and dependencies in a defined format.
IPS package: An IPS package is a collection of files, directories, links,
drivers,actions and dependencies in a defined format.
where "functions of scripts" = "actions" in IPS
