I am looking for a specification of the `installpkg` package format used in System V release 3.2 (and maybe in other releases too). The format seems to have a couple of files named Size, Install etc, and nicely remembers installed packages and files so you can remove the packages. But what is the exact format or where can I find a definition? Reply, by email and I will summarize if there is enough interest. /bear -- Bjorn Sjoholm UUCP: bear@kuling.uu.se (...!uunet!sunic!kuling!bear) Uppsala, Sweden Phone: +46 18 155097

The packaging format is described in the document: "AT&T 3B Computer Application Software Packaging Guide", select code 305-001 (Issue 1, dated 1988) It appears to be fairly generic; I don't know if there is a different packaging guide for the 6386.

Look in the UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Integrated Software
Development Guide (ISDG). Select Code 999-300-523 or COM CODE
105-540-173-CC. Refer to CHapter 2.

Please consult the UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Integrated Software Development Guide. It has all the details on installpkg, removepkg and installable drivers. Sincerely, John Urban

I believe the original poster wanted to know the format for 3B2 installable floppies. I don't have a reference, but if you have a 3B2, just look at the shell script for installpkg and see what it expects, then look at an installable package and see what's there.
