The different clusters of packages shown above are "as of now". Execute the command as above to get the up-to-date list at any given point of time.
Those interested in having a tool chain for performing builds would need to install the devel cluster. To install the devel cluste, as root user, execute

$ get-pkgs devel

For those interested in knowing the list of packages in a cluster, the file for the individual cluster is stored as /var/tmp/get-pkgs/<cluster-name>

To have a pkgbuild environment for building the spec files

• Install the devel cluster using get-pkgs
  
• Download and install Sun Studio 11
• Download JDS CBE and Install CBEpkgbuild(along with the mandatory dependencies)
• Modify your user .bashrc to source /opt/jdsbld/bin/envsh
  

Now you are ready to build your way into the hundreds of softwares available via the various spec files repositories.

The get-pkgs facility for pulling and installing softwares is a stop gap arrangement till we have a network repository of our own.
