I thought we are still in hope that the SVr4 pkg system will become OpenSource soon.
Let me provide an update. We who are responsible for the install and packaging code are just now beginning the diligence research required so that we can release it. The basic plan is to complete the diligence on the package utilities as soon as we can and (assuming we don't find issues) release the package utilities as redistributable binaries ASAP, to be followed by the code; because the package tools live in a different consolidation than the ON pieces released to OpenSolaris so far, so the code release will require more work on our end. The rest of the install code will be dealt with as a separate project.
As we're just getting started I can't yet supply any estimate for how quickly this will be completed, just that we're doing the best we can.
