Explanation:
Image Packaging System (IPS) is a new network based package management
system included in Oracle Solaris 11. It provides a framework for complete software lifecycle
management such as installation, upgrade and removal of software packages. IPS also enables
you to create your own software packages, create and manage package repositories, and mirror
existing package repositories.

Oracle Solaris software is distributed in IPS packages. IPS packages are stored in IPS package
repositories, which are populated by IPS publishers.
E: The following command displays property information about the local repository.
$ pkgrepo get -s /export/repoSolaris11
