This month, Michal Pryc has kindly offered to give a talk on the Image Packaging System[1] - a new package management system for OpenSolaris that will ease the pain of package installation and upgrade.

The project is still in it's early stages, but you can try it out now by downloading and experimenting with Indiana[2]. Come along to the meeting to find out more!

Michal plans to give a quick outline of:

  * IPS structure
  * client/server side tools
  * limitations
  * portability

As well as a GUI tool he's been working on.
