Yes. I'm interested in exploring how the packaging system would work
in terms of installing and updating a non-trivial application and I
thought that ksh93 would be a good starting point.
It's also possible that someone might generate an indiana like
distribution without ksh93 being included and would need a ksh93 pkg -
not necessarily the latest version.
I'm also interested in how a pkg repository would be setup and
managed. For example, how a new version of a package (with several
dependencies) would be made available even as users are actively
downloading from the repository.
