pkgadd-dev

is a Debian/Linux package building tool for Datastream package format (pkgadd).

This tool is useful when there is a need for cross platform development towards systems like Solaris (Sun Microsystems, Inc.).

The package needs to be prepared in the usual Debian way. A directory called "solaris" gets added, similar to the "debian" directory, but with as little as possible redundant information to files like debian/control. The pkgadd format then gets built with pkgadd-buildpackage.

This is a very basic creation tool and only implements a very limited set of options. Use with caution. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Example

The package comes with an example. See the doc section (/usr/share/doc/pkgadd-dev/).
