sun packaging patch

gotchausa · Jul 1, 2003

I've a got a SUN package that uses a preremove script. Now I want to write a patch that overrides this script. How can I go about doing this??

pkgtrans is the utility that translates packages to and from the single file .pkg format. See the man page for details.

Thx, this utility does do not do what I need.
Where can I find info on how to write a SUN patch???

There's a section on the site about creating Solaris packages. Good luck.
