Thanks Tom - as a workaround I could try the evaluation phase and if
the number of packages to install after evaluation are less than those
I gave it then this would indicate the user needs to do an
image-update and I can prompt them to that effect. If I had the data
before hand I could show a image-update icon beside the relevant
packages which would be a lot more helpful for the user.
Be aware that this method could be fooled if a new version of a package
includes a new dependency on a package that wasn't yet installed.
Do you know what the plans are with regard to metapackages? I would
really like to be able to query for just metapackage updates, rather
than listing every package from the repo, its particularly unhelpful
for the user. But I need some way to figure out what are the
metapackages from the inventory.
So I'd like to be listing "OpenSolaris System Update" for instance for
a new version of OpenSolaris as opposed to every package in the
incorporation.
Sorry, I can't help you there.

John,
Based on looking at the code, the "incorporated" field in the state
dictionary returned from image.inventory will always be false. It
appears as if that hasn't been implemented yet in image.__inventory.

Hi,
I'm working on an Update Manager GUI and want to check if the packages
I'm listing are incorporated so I can signal this to the user and prompt
them that they will need to do an image-update to get the latest version
of this incorporated package.
When I run pkg list -av <pkg-name> I see the UFIX column and it is
reporting upgradeable correctly but not incorporated. Is this meant to work?
Thanks,
JR
