I've written two modules for working with Solaris 11's Image Package System, also known as pkg(5):

- Module pkg5 handles installing and uninstalling packages ([https://github.com/mavit/ansible-modules-extras/blob/pkg5/packaging/os/pkg5.py](https://github.com/mavit/ansible-modules-extras/blob/pkg5/packaging/os/pkg5.py)).  
- Module pkg5\_publisher manages repository configuration ([https://github.com/mavit/ansible-modules-extras/blob/pkg5/packaging/os/pkg5\_publisher.py](https://github.com/mavit/ansible-modules-extras/blob/pkg5/packaging/os/pkg5_publisher.py)).

I'd look to get these included with Ansible, but perhaps they need a bit more real-world testing first. Feedback welcome!
