As I mentioned in the original email, pointing to places like blastwave and life with solaris might be helpful as well. I would also respectfully suggest that "package search" doesn't really suggest to me "list of useful repositories" were pkg.opensolaris.org to be changed to have such a list. However, I will add pkg-discuss to this conversation since it appears that any proposed change might need to be synchronized.
