How?

pkgtool invokes external wget for missing sources, so this is probably
specified by wget.

That answers the question, yes.


It occurs to me that the command line for pkgsend and wget (and possibly
pkgadd) should be in the list of imported interfaces. pkg wget was left
Volatile by PSARC/2007/681
(http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2007/681/mail has the
discussion).

Agreed; they are imported interfaces. I think reality has caught up with wget's initial stability level of Volatile (as John Plocher states in 2007/681). I don't think there's much we can do about that here, as I don't think contracts for wget would be productive at all given that it has extensive embedded use elsewhere.

PSARC/2008/190 didn't seem to specify a commitment for
pkgsend?

That can be fixed; the case has only undergone a pre-inception, and so it is to be expected that some pieces are still under-specified. I would assume that it could be no less than Uncommitted, as I believe the IPS project team fully expects that the command would be used by scripts. It indeed needs to be called out as an imported interface for this case.
