TABLE 10-3. CREATING A PACKAGE

RHEL ORACLE SOLARIS 11

Step 4—Specify package contents

Use the command pkgsend generate to parse through proto area

recursively and specify what all constitutes the package

oracle@solaris_11X:~/work $ pkgsend

generate proto_install | pkgfmt >

my_sample.p5m.1

The find-requires and find-provides

scripts in /usr/lib/rpm can determine Perl,

Python, and Tcl script dependencies and other

dependencies, such as Java package

dependencies, automatically. The find-

requires script determines requires

dependencies automatically, and the find-

provides script determines provides

dependencies.

Step 5: Generated package dependencies using the pkgdepend

generate command:

oracle@solaris_11X:~/work $ pkgdepend generate -md

proto_install my_sample.p5m.1|pkgfmt > my_sample_depend

Step 6: Resolve package dependancies using the following command:

oracle@solaris_11:~/work $ pkgdepend resolve

my_sample_depend

The rpmbuild command is used to build RPMs:

$rpmbuild -bBuildStage spec_file

To build a binary RPM, use the –bb option to the

rpmbuild command:

$ rpmbuild -bb spec_file

After exexuting the above command, my_sample_depend.res will be

created. This file can now be used to publish the packge on the IPS

repository.
