Heads-up: largefile-aware package commands.

Subject: Heads-up: largefile-aware package commands.

Hi all,

This is a belated heads up about recent changes to the package commands.

With the changes for 6514450 integrated to install-nv gate and the 
changes for 6526496 to onnv gate,
all the package commands are now largefile aware.

Now, pkgadd(1M), pkgrm(1M) and the associated commands will handle 
individual package components or
a package data-stream of size more than 2GB. However, they can handle 
the data-streams of size only
upto 4GB, because of the limitation of cpio(1).

The pkgproto(1) will now behave normally in a filesystem of more than 2.1TB.

Thanks,
Nagaraj.
