This is a very large collection of packages which are easy to install, 
but it uses a different package manager than IPS.  Installed packages 
are sometimes redundant with what comes with OmniOS and more software 
may be installed than strictly needed since most package options are 
enabled (similar to Linux).  This is not much of a problem for the 
global zone but seems expensive (for space consumed) for non-global 
zones.

I was intially put-off by the pkgsrc solution when I wanted to install 
just a subversion VCS client and observed that a great many packages 
where installed, including Apache, which was automatically started up.

If you start with pkgsrc, you probably want to use it for everything.
