It's a manual process, IPS grabs the real version number when the svr4 pkg is imported into IPS repos.(actually IPS keeps the real version number in the manifest of each pkg). Can we make it as a automatic process?

There is one issue I can see if we use the real version number, some pkgs have the version number which are lower than "0.5.11"(see the example as below), user will not get these pkgs updated until the version goes higher than "0.5.11". Any ideas?
