How to Create an Unsigned, Directory-Format Package

The procedure for creating an unsigned, directory-format package is the same as the procedure for creating a normal package, as previously described in this manual. The following procedure describes the process of creating this unsigned, directory-format package. If you need more information, refer to the previous sections about building packages.

1. Create the pkginfo file.

   The pkginfo file should have the following basic content:

   PKG=SUNWfoo BASEDIR=/ NAME=My Test Package ARCH=sparc VERSION=1.0.0 CATEGORY=application

2. Create the prototype file.

   The prototye file should have the following basic content:

   $cat prototype i pkginfo d none usr 0755 root sys d none usr/bin 0755 root bin f none usr/bin/myapp=/tmp/myroot/usr/bin/myapp 0644 root bin

3. List the contents of the object source directory.

   For example:

   $ ls -lR /tmp/myroot

   The output would appear similar to the following:

   /tmp/myroot: total 16 drwxr-xr-x 3 abc other 177 Jun 2 16:19 usr /tmp/myroot/usr: total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 abc other 179 Jun 2 16:19 bin /tmp/myroot/usr/bin: total 16 -rw------- 1 abc other 1024 Jun 2 16:19 myapp

4. Create the unsigned package.

   pkgmk -d `pwd`

   The output would appear similar to the following:

   ## Building pkgmap from package prototype file. ## Processing pkginfo file. WARNING: parameter <PSTAMP> set to "syrinx20030605115507" WARNING: parameter <CLASSES> set to "none" ## Attempting to volumize 3 entries in pkgmap. part 1 -- 84 blocks, 7 entries ## Packaging one part. /tmp/SUNWfoo/pkgmap /tmp/SUNWfoo/pkginfo /tmp/SUNWfoo/reloc/usr/bin/myapp ## Validating control scripts. ## Packaging complete.

   The package now exists in the current directory.
