Mkpkg - A Software Packaging Tool
Overview 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 three minutes effort. Mkpkg has been implemented on HP-UX using Tcl/Tk and provides both a graphical and command line interface. It builds product-level packages for Software Distributor (SD-UX).
