Well, it understand ServicePacks -- if you run "man pkgenpack" you'll
find out more about what they can do.

I intend on making service packs contain updates soon too, so you can
do:

pkgenpack --with-package-list=/media/USB/package-list.txt dir=/home/rishi/Desktop --updates

and then just double click on them in a host machine to get all the
updates.
