Image Packaging System

The Image Packaging System, also known as IPS, is a cross-platform package management system created by the OpenSolaris community in coordination with Sun Microsystems. It is used by Solaris 11 and several Illumos-based distributions: OpenIndiana, OmniOS, XStreamOS and a growing number of layered applications, including GlassFish, across a variety of operating system platforms. IPS is currently written in the Python programming language, but a rust implementation intended to succeed it is in progress.
