pkg-discuss is a mailing list and isn't available through the web
interface. You can subscribe to it by emailing pkg-discuss-subscribe AT
opensolaris.org.

IPS has special actions for handling users and groups.
Is this user and group one that only exists if they've installed your
software previously? If so, you shouldn't need to check for its
existence; just use the user and group actions.
I'm not certain what you would do otherwise, but perhaps someone else does.
Look at man page for pkg.5 in the "User actions" and "Group actions"
sections for more information about these actions ("man pkg.5").
You might also find the Image Packaging System Guide useful while
working through this process:
