I am currently working on a SchilliX that uses SVr4 packages.
We would need a few simple extensions to pkgadd to increase the usability.....
I believe that the SVr4 package system needs to be OSS as soon as possible
and that all OpenSolaris distributions should use it. This means that a
"OpenSolaris compliant" sticker should require the presence of SVr4 packages
oncd this is OSS.
