package
•For simple apps, a tar or :STORE-
to-disk archive may suffice
•Complex apps may require a
custom INSTALL script to create the
proper MPE accounting structure
•Think about future updates -- do
you want to allow multiple versions
on the same machine at the same
time?
•If you're thinking of doing multiple
ports, spend the time on your first
port designing a common
installation architecture template
•Test your package by installing
and/or building it on a machine
different from your own
