The Payload Delivery Vehicle software creates an all-in-one package and installation commands in a single executable file.
If you’re looking to build or install PDV, refer to the INSTALL file (PDV uses GNU configure). The source code of the software is also available on sourceforge, and according to the developer, the software can be easily used on any UNIXish platform due to its robust GNU configuration and build utilities.
If you encounter any platform-specific issues, do not hesitate to reach out to the developer at [email protected], who is determined to address all known problems. As a bonus, if you managed to overcome any of these porting problems, your feedback on your solution will be greatly appreciated.
So far, the following operating systems have successfully built and executed the PDV program: Solaris 8 (sparc), Solaris 2.6 (sparc), and Linux (Red Hat 6.0).
The latest release (version 1.5.1) implements a fix for a bug that causes cores when using help files over 1K. Overall, PDV is a straightforward and efficient software application useful for any developer looking to simplify package delivery and installation.
