Using the BASEDIR Parameter
The checkinstall script can select the appropriate base directory at install time, which means that the base directory can be placed very low in the directory tree. This example increments the base directory sequentially, leading to directories of the form /opt/SUNWstuf, /opt/SUNWstuf.1, and /opt/SUNWstuf.2. The administrator can use the pkginfo command to determine which architecture and version are installed in each base directory.
If the SUNWstuf package (containing a set of utilities that do stuff) uses this method, its pkginfo and pkgmap files would look like this.
