Greetings,
The following webrev contains changes for the following items:
17824 api install and update should allow specifying "latest" version
of packages
17827 MatchingDotSequence plays in the wrong pool
17830 use of wildcards in versions forces glob matching of package
name
17842 api install, update, list, and info should allow "rooted"
package names
webrev:

Change Summary:
* pkg(1) now allows '@latest' to be specified in package patterns;
this allows a user (as an example) to explicitly request an update
of all packages to the latest version (instead of the latest version
that *can* be upgraded to). Example: pkg update *@latest
This also allows initial installs into empty images to be faster
(e.g. pkg install entire@latest SUNWcs@latest SUNWcsd@latest
babel_install@latest) since the matching will eliminate all versions
but the latest for consideration by the solver.
* If an FMRI pattern with a wildcard in the version was parsed by the
MatchingDotSequence class before it was parsed by the DotSequence
class, that caused wildcards to be allowed in normal DotSequences
because of the shared pool for dot sequence objects indexed by
version pattern. This has been fixed by giving each DotSequence
class its own pool.
* pkg(1) was using glob matching for package names even when the
version is the only thing that contained a wildcard. This meant
that patterns such as 'vim@*-0.157' didn't match packages named
'editor/vim' as expected. (The normal behaviour for 'pkg list
vim' is to match packages named 'vim' and 'editor/vim' since 'vim'
is the last component of the package name.)
* All pkg(5) programs now allow the 'scheme' to be omitted in package
names. Specifically, package names starting with a '/' are treated
as if they started with 'pkg:/' and those starting with '//' are
treated as if they started with 'pkg://'. Example:
pkg:/foo == /foo and pkg://solaris/foo == //solaris/foo.
