Rich,
The new version of api.py only reads the pkg.summary from the package.
This means that old packages that only have a "description" attribute
won't have anything printed. The bug report requests reading the
description if the pkg.summary is not there.
Thanks.

Hi all,
(This is for after OpenSolaris 2009.06).
Thanks for feedback from Danek and Tom. I think I have a clearer
understanding of what is required here now.
Here's a second webrev. I've combined the patches for 4395 and 8829
as they are so tightly connected.
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richb/pkg-4395-8829-v2/
Changes made:
* solaris.py now publishs "add name pkg.summary ..." lines in
the package manifest.
* .../modules/client/api.py now gets "pkg.summary" entries from
the package manifest for the "pkg info" Summary: line.
* In solaris.py, if there was no "summary" line in the IPS package
definition, the summary is now derived from the SVR4 package's
pkginfo file's NAME line.
* In solaris.py, if there was no "description" line in the IPS package
definition, the description is now derived from the SVR4 package's
pkginfo file's DESC line.
* All the IPS package definition files that previously had
"description" lines have been adjusted to now have "summary" lines.
This has made the patch a tad bigger.
There is a local (internal) repository with a "redist_import"
published to it at:
http://stard.sfbay.sun.com:24395
Discussion point:
* With the above changes, Danek suggested we could also add a "-v"
sub-command line option to "pkg info" that would also print out
the package description.
I was going to just make the changes in with this webrev, but then
I realized that "pkg info" currently doesn't have a "-v" sub-option,
so as it's also going to affect the usage message, man pages etc.,
it's probably best to just fill out a new RFE on this, if folks
think it's a good idea.
Thanks.
