It's pretty basic really.  Here is one line from that catalog :

aalib 1.4.0,REV=2004.10.15_rev=rc5 CSWaalib
aalib-1.4.0,REV=2004.10.15_rev=rc5-S
unOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz fc52a1b3e046cc38fdc138c6da0bfabb


First field is the software package metaname. In this case aalib
Then you get the version 1.4.0,REV=2004.10.15_rev=rc5
Then the actual software package name CSWaalib
Next is the file name :
    aalib-1.4.0,REV=2004.10.15_rev=rc5-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

lastly the md5 sum

If you are on Solaris 10 you can generate that with digest -v -a md5 filename
