The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_99 including an update
to GNOME 2.23.91, PHP 5.2.6, Python 2.5, drivers for the Areca SAS/SATA
RAID and Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100/5300 as well as fixes to the Caiman
"Slim Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS). This update also
introduces the Distribution Constructor to the package repository.

so using the "image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command.
For important information about "image-update", see the instructions at
