-Handles System V Packaging format that is available on Solaris.
+Handles `System V Packaging <http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/806-7008/index.html>`_ format that is available on Solaris.
+
+.. note::
+
+ If the Packages specified in the PackageList are datastream format
+ packages distributed via HTTP, you must specify a simplefile attribute.
+ Such packages will be downloaded and installed from a local path.
+
+ Note the use of the uri attribute in the datastream format example. If
+ the simplefile attribute exists, the
+ :ref:`Pkgmgr <server-plugins-generators-pkgmgr>` plugin will
+ automatically construct the url attribute by concatenating the uri and
+ simplefile attributes (with an intervening slash).
+
+ Datastream format over HTTP:
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+ <PackageList uri='http://install/packages' type='sysv' priority='0'>
+ <Package name='SCbcfg2' version='1.3.4' simplefile='bcfg-1.3.4-1' />
+ </PackageList>
+
+ File system format over NFS or local path:
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+ <PackageList url='/mnt/install/packages' type='sysv' priority='0'>
+ <Package name='SCbcfg2' version='1.3.4' />
+ </PackageList>
