The procedures that follow assume that you've created the software to be packaged in a special build directory tree. This makes it much easier to build a package consisting of the just the desired software.

 1. Create a pkginfo file, e.g.
    PKG=OpenSSL
    NAME=OpenSSL for Solaris
    DESC="OpenSSL Secure Socket Layers"
    VENDOR="OpenSSL Team - http://www.openssl.org"
    BASEDIR=/
    ARCH=sparc
    VERSION=0.9.6c
    CATEGORY=Security
    CLASSES="none"
 2. Create a prototype file.e.g. find /builddir | pkgproto > prototype
 3. The prototype file created will need to be manually edited. A line
    pointing to the pkginfo file will need inserting. Also, search statements
    need adding for the build directories containing files to be package. An
    example file is listed below:
    i pkginfo=/home/tda/software/packages/openssl/pkginfo
    d none /usr 0755 root sys
    d none /usr/local 0755 root other
    d none /usr/local/ssl 0755 root other
    d none /usr/local/ssl/man 0750 root other
    !search /home/tda/software/packages/openssl/usr/local/ssl/man/man1
