If you want to bundle packages together,
We do not understand each other.
In order to create a SVR4 package, a prototype(4) file must be created, which
declares permissions and file attributes in a package, and specifies inclusion
of metadata, such as depend(4), and pkginfo(4). In other words, a prototype(4)
file declares what the package payload is.
I thought you were talking about bundle packages, not prototypes, sorry
about that.
I believe that in IPS, this is called a bundle file or a package manifest
perhaps?
A package manifest.
Which tool creates this declaration of package content?
pkgsend(1)
See "man pkgsend.1", specifically the "generate" subcommand, in builds
118 or later. Although I'd strongly recommend build 129 or later due to
the significant improvements that have been made since then.
The full list of publication tools are:
pkgdepend(1)
pkgdiff(1) -- build 130+
pkgmogrify(1)
pkgrecv(1)
pkgsend(1)
Please note that pkgsend will allow you to import an existing SVR4
package (minus class action scripts), directory, or tarball as the basis
for a new package. The man page explains all of this.
