Hello!
If you have OmniOS-specific questions, you should join the OmniOS discussion

But since you're here, and my answers also apply to OpenIndiana...

Read the manual page for pkg(1). If you utter "pkg update -nv", you'll get a
breakdown similar to the one you see above. For a larger upgrade (like if
illumos got rebuilt and pushed to your upstream repo server), that can be quite
verbose. Also, if you have zones, linked-image zone will get pulled along for
the ride.
