Dan,
So does this mean that pkg(5) would have the special package names
"SUNWipkg" and "entire" hardcoded into it somewhere?
For the multi-platform packaging of IPS, we use the package name "pkg"
rather than SUNWipkg and there is no entire package. Can this be made
configurable somehow? Maybe a special attribute on certain packages
("update-me-first" or something like that)?
I'd still like to see the message after the successful update be driven
from content in packages rather than hardcoded into the pkg(5) software.
Thanks.

After cornering Dave Comay for a little while this afternoon, I have
revised this proposal. Here is the new proposal:
At image-update time:
1) pkg(5) will check itself to see if it SUNWipkg is downrev from the
latest version published against the current 'entire' incorporation.
If not, it will emit a message asking the user to update the packaging
system and exit.
2) Once SUNWipkg is up to date, we'll proceed with the image-update as
before. AFTER a successful update, we'll print a note about consulting
the release notes.
I'd be happy to use a short-form URL for this information, if someone
could help me to obtain one. Offline, I've asked David, Dave, Kelly, and
Glynn to assign an owner to resolve the various criticisms posted about
the release notes.
Here's how it will go. I am still adjusting the messages but these
are close to the final versions:
# pkg image-update
Checking that SUNWipkg (in '/') is up to date.
WARNING: pkg(5) appears to be out of date, and should be updated before
running image-update.
Please update pkg(5) using 'pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg' and then retry
the image-update.
