Packaging your software applications

Approach

To meet the requirements in the description, you must:

  1. Create a copyright(F) file.

    A copyright file contains the ASCII text of a copyright message. The message shown in the sample file will be displayed on the screen during package installation (and also during package removal).

  2. Create a compver(F) file.

    The sample pkginfo file defines this package version as version 3.0. The sample compver file defines version 3.0 as being compatible with versions 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.3 and 1.7.

  3. Create a depend(F) file.

    Files listed in a depend file must already be installed on the system when a package is installed. The sample file has 11 packages which must already be on the system at installation time.
