I am aware of the use of pkg
to install an individual package file, but it does not include a repository infrastructure like other Linux distributions. Is there any solution that behaves like yum
or `apt on the Solaris 11 Express platform?

You can list the publisher's repositories with this command:
You can add and remove publishers and you can also create your own repository.
