creating of installable packages in AIX

[aixrav]

Hello Group,

I'm very much new in creating installable packages for AIX. And 'am in very much need of creating install packages.Perhaps anybody can give me a Hint where to find Information or (better) can give me just an Example of an Package.
Infact the book "General Programming Concepts: Writing and Debugging Programs" 'Chapter 20. Packaging Software for Installation' which is online at:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/doc_l...sw4_install.htm

the documentation was bit confusing, for a novice like me. And was hard with new packages. So I would be very happy if any of u guys give me info where I will find better information.

Thanks in advance,
Raviz

Raviz,

From the Bull website there is lppbuild, a package which creates installable filesets compatible with installp.

PSD,

I have gone out to the Bull site and have done a search on lppbuild and get a 0 return. Do you have a URL that is valid?
