Feature #2805: AIX Package management support
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2805

Author: Andrew Forgue
Status: Tests Insufficient
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: James Turnbull
Category: package
Target version: Rowlf
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords: aix packages
Branch: 


The attached patch adds support for AIX package management 
(install/upgrade/remove/latest).  I am not too sure about the inheritance 
between providers, but I think I got it right.

There are 2 ways to install a Package on AIX -- 
# via directory full of .bff files.  This requires a .toc file generated in the 
directory (the provider does this, but may take a long time on huge directories)
# via a Network Install Manager (NIM) server.  This way abstracts the directory 
into client/server and allows distribution of packages to a network of systems. 
 Each server has to be a member of the NIM environment for this to work (I 
think that's what confine exists /etc/niminfo) will do.

I've tested this with both methods and it seems to work.
