Hi,

I have been investigating about ways to build packages on AIX using the
AIX native installers. I found out that installp is the native
installer for aix. However could not find the way to build
packages/images that could be installed using installp.

The detailed information provided at

http://moka.ccr.jussieu.fr/doc_link/...w4_install.htm

did not specify how to actullay build the package.

I would like to know the follwoing:

1. Is there a directory herirarchy that is necessary for building
packages on aix?
2. Which out of the following should be used for package building
process:
bffcreate, lppbuild, backup, mklpp

Could someone please help me with this?

Thanks,
Swati
