PkgTools are utilities that assist in the creation of Solaris packages. Native packages can be built more efficiently with this set of tools.
PkgTools is an essential set of utilities that are designed to facilitate the creation of native Solaris packages. The package includes five distinct tools that are used for building packages, establishing a chroot() environment for pre-installation, copying package control scripts, initiating new projects, and validating package installations.
Currently, the PkgTools package comes with four powerful tools. The first tool, build-pkg is used for building Solaris packages with the option to call chroot-install if required. Chroot-install, on the other hand, creates an ideal environment that allows software to be installed using chroot().
Proj-template is an excellent tool that enables users to copy and expand files from a certain template directory by answering some simple questions. It's primarily designed to promote the setup of a home directory for a new project.
For those looking for ways to set up a simple InstallPackage, the simple-proj tool is the best way forward. With this tool, users can easily set up package control scripts quite efficiently.
Finally, the fifth tool, check-pkg, is a utility designed to confirm whether packages have been installed correctly. It's capable of also checking whether a specified pathname is a part of a package.
It's important to note that simple-proj is essentially proj-template but in a different guise. Overall, PkgTools is a must-have tool for anyone looking to build native Solaris packages effectively.
