Hi All
I am just being introduced to IllumOS and OmniOS. I am coming from FreeBSD
so as I learn I try to think of the command equivalent to what I know in
FreeBSD. I am currently studying how to manage packages and so far, one
thing that is eluding me is how to know which packages need updating. In
freebsd I would do pkg version -v to see the list. Something like below
would be the result.

opendkim-2.9.2_5                   <   needs updating (index has 2.10.3_6)
openntpd-6.0p1_3,2                 <   needs updating (index has 6.0p1_4,2)
p5-Bit-Vector-7.3                  <   needs updating (index has 7.4)
p5-Carp-Clan-6.04                  <   needs updating (index has 6.06)
p5-Date-Calc-6.3                   <   needs updating (index has 6.4)
p5-Locale-gettext-1.05_3           <   needs updating (index has 1.06)
pcre-8.37_4                        <   needs updating (index has 8.40)

What command would I use in IllumOS? Thanks for any help and I have to say,
I am impressed with the concepts I am seeing.

Regards
