For the IPS book, we have several more terms that
need clarifying. Please review the following definitions
and let us know if you can help clarify.

o Package update

A limited installation of package files. Only those files
that have been modified are installed. If files have been
removed from the package that is to be installed, those
same files are removed from the package that is
being updated.

o Preferred repository:

A default repository that is the source for packages. If
a user does not explicitly specify a repository, the preferred
authority is chosen as the source for packages.

o Relocatable package

1. The Application Packaging Guide has this definition, but we
felt that this definition was too difficult to understand.
A package object defined in a prototype file with a relative
path name

2. For IPS, can the below definition be used instead?

 A package that enables a user to specify where to install
 that package.

Thanks for your help.
