Need documentation on pkg-installer

I want to use pkg-installer to deploy our compmany s/w on a QNX box. I saw
an article on how to set up a repository. However, I haven’t come across
any information on how to package the various executables, shared libraries,
config files, etc. I also need to set up local accounts, add services in
rc.local, etc.

Would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,

Hanif.

The links do indeed help. However, it seems that packager might not be the
right tool.

I need to package components (executables, libraries, config files, OEM
stuff…) that do not necessarily reside under one directory structure (like
a basedir). Also, as part of the installation, i need to create some
accounts, change file permisions, etc. My initial understanding is that
package will not do that. I would have to provide pre/post-install scripts.
If that is the case then it might be easier to develop a set of scripts that
gather the material, pack it (tar), etc…
