Hi Danek,
pkgparam is used to find various package parameters. Anyways we can
still grep it from pkg info.
So what we see as two different package installation is actually one.
Nice idea to make it backward compatible. However why do they different
version numbers for the IPS and SVR4 packaging if they are only one
installation?

1) Equivalent of pkgparam in opensolaris
There's no equivalent as such. What are you trying to do?
2) While working on opensolaris i found this:
-bash-3.2# pkg info SUNWzip
[ ... ]
-bash-3.2# pkginfo -l SUNWzip
[ ... ]
Are these two different different installation of SUNWzip packages i.e
one in pkg(5) and other in SVR4? If yes, why are we installing the same
package twice in two different format?
It's the same installation. The pkg(5) packages we create when importing
the Solaris WOS are created with legacy actions that put enough information
down to fool the SVr4 packaging subsystem into thinking the packages are
installed, so that real SVr4 packages can use it for satisfying
dependencies (but not so much that you can use pkgrm successfully).
3) I need a few PKG(5) packages to test install and uninstall. I don't want
to play with existing installed in opensolaris.
Where can a get a few?
You can create an image at an arbitrary location using pkg.opensolaris.org
(or ipkg.sfbay, if you're doing this internally) as your authority and add
whatever packages you like in that image without scrawling all over your
existing installation. You'll get best results if you first install
SUNWcsd and SUNWcs, but by the November release, that restriction will go
away.
