Example-A Traditional Solution
Assume that one object in the SUNWstuf package is a startup script executed at run level 2. The file /etc/rc2.d/S70dostuf needs to be installed as a part of the package, but it cannot be placed into the base directory. Assuming that a relocatable package is the only solution, the pkginfo and a pkgmap might look like this.
The pkginfo File
# pkginfo file PKG=SUNWstuf NAME=software stuff ARCH=sparc VERSION=1.0.0,REV=1.0.5 CATEGORY=application DESC=a set of utilities that do stuff BASEDIR=/ VENDOR=Sun Microsystems, Inc. HOTLINE=Please contact your local service provider EMAIL= MAXINST=1000 CLASSES=none PSTAMP=hubert990707141632 |
The pkgmap File
: 1 1758 1 d none opt/SUNWstuf/EZstuf 0775 root bin 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/EZstuf/dirdel 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/EZstuf/usrdel 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/EZstuf/filedel 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 d none opt/SUNWstuf/HRDstuf 0775 root bin 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/HRDstuf/mksmart 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/HRDstuf/mktall 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/HRDstuf/mkcute 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 f none opt/SUNWstuf/HRDstuf/mkeasy 0555 bin bin 40 773 751310229 1 d none etc ? ? ? 1 d none etc/rc2.d ? ? ? 1 f none etc/rc2.d/S70dostuf 0744 root sys 450 223443 1 i pkginfo 348 28411 760740163 1 i postinstall 323 26475 751309908 1 i postremove 402 33179 751309945 1 i preinstall 321 26254 751310019 1 i preremove 320 26114 751309865 |
There is not much difference between this approach and that of the absolute package. In fact, this would be better off as an absolute package—if the administrator provided an alternate base directory for this package, it would not work!
In fact, only one file in this package needs to be root-relative, the rest could be moved anywhere. How to solve this problem through the use of a composite package is discussed throughout the remainder of this section.
