mkpkg: A Software Packaging Tool
Authors:
Carl Staelin, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories
Abstract:
mkpkg is a tool that helps software publishers create installation packages. Given software that is ready for distribution, mkpkg helps the publisher develop a description of the software package, including manifests, dependencies, and post-install customizations. mkpkg automates many of the painstaking tasks required of the publisher, such as determining the complete package manifest and dependencies of the executables on shared libraries. Using mkpkg, a publisher can generate software packages for complex software such as TeX with only a few minutes effort.
