6This is a set of scripts to make a Solaris pkg distribtion
7
8UNPACK - test script for regression testing
9 This allows you to copy the LPRng distribution
10 to a directory on a Solaris system and then
11 do 'sh UNPACK'. This will generate a package
12
13Scripts used to generate the package
14 copyright
15 i.preserve
16 inetd.conf
17 prototype.pre
18 r.preserve
19
20Makefile - makefile that does the work
21 make clean all
22 Builds a package.
23
24 In order to do this we horribly abuse the various
25 things that you would normally expect a Solaris Package
26 generation script to do.
27
28 a) We first compile and install the LPRng software in
29 a temporary location (i.e. /var/tmp/LPRng-...) so that
30 this contains only the LPRng installation files
31 b) We use this to generation a packing list
32 c) We then get the various postinstall and preremove
33 scripts from the generated stuff and put them into
34 the files in the current directory.
35 d) We make the package.
36
37You might also want to try:
38 make checkit
39 - checks build and makes package
40 make removeit
41 - removes package
42 make installit
43 - installs package
