Adding package providers for OpenIndiana

Hello,

What is the preferred way for users to add new package providers for
currently unsupported platforms?

I'd recommend an LWRP while you cut your teeth, and eventually a fully
fledged provider:

OK. I was going to do another LWRP but it seemed like I should
probably just write it as a provider to packages. Thank you.

You should look at the community homebrew cookbook as an example that
sets the default package manager.

Sorry - I really need to actually read this list more...

I've written a pkg(5) library which I'm happy to share.
