<H2><A NAME="epm">epm</A></H2>
<HR>
<P>Create software packages</P>
<H3>Synopsis</H3>
<P><B>epm</B> [ -a <I>architecture</I> ] [ -f <I>format</I> ] [
-g ] [ -k ] [ -n[mrs] ] [ -s <I>setup.xpm</I> ] [ --setup-image
<I>setup.xpm</I> ] [ --setup-program <I>/foo/bar/setup</I> ] [
--setup-types <I>setup.types</I> ] [ -v ] [ <I>name=value
name=value</I> ] product [ <I>listfile</I> ]</P>
<H3>Description</H3>
<P><B>epm</B> generates software packages complete with
installation, removal, and (if necessary) patch scripts. Unless
otherwise specified, the files required for <I>product</I> are
read from a file named "<I>product</I>.list".</P>
<P>The <I>-a</I> option ("architecture") specifies the actual
architecture for the software. Without this option the generic
processor architecture is used ("intel", "sparc", "mips", etc.)</P>
<P>The <I>-f</I> option ("format") specifies the distribution
format:</P>
<UL><DL>
<DT>aix</DT>
<DD>Generate an AIX distribution suitable for
installation on an AIX system.</DD>
<DT>bsd</DT>
<DD>Generate a BSD distribution suitable for
installation on a FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD system.</DD>
<DT>deb</DT>
<DD>Generate a Debian distribution suitable for
installation on a Debian Linux system.</DD>
<DT>inst, tardist</DT>
<DD>Generate an IRIX distribution suitable for
installation on an system running IRIX.</DD>
<DT>native</DT>
<DD>Generate an native distribution. This uses
<I>rpm</I> for Linux, <I>inst</I> for IRIX, <I>pkg</I>
for Solaris, <I>swinstall</I> for HP-UX, and <I>bsd</I>
for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. All other operating
systems default to the <I>portable</I> format.</DD>
<DT>pkg</DT>
<DD>Generate an AT&T software package. These are used
primarily under Solaris.</DD>
<DT>portable</DT>
<DD>Generate a portable distribution based on shell
scripts and tar files. The resulting distribution is
installed and removed the same way on all operating
systems. [default]</DD>
<DT>rpm</DT>
<DD>Generate a Red Hat Package Manager ("RPM")
distribution suitable for installation on a Red Hat
Linux system.</DD>
<DT>setld</DT>
<DD>Generate a Tru64 (setld) software distribution.</DD>
<DT>swinstall, depot</DT>
<DD>Generate a HP-UX software distribution.</DD>
</DL></UL>
<P>Executable files in the distribution are normally stripped of
debugging information when packaged. To disable this
functionality use the <I>-g</I> option.</P>
<P>Intermediate (spec, etc.) files used to create the
distribution are normally removed after the distribution is
created. The <I>-k</I> option keeps these files in the
distribution directory.</P>
<P>The <I>-s</I> and <I>--setup-image</I> options ("setup")
include the ESP Software Wizard with the specified XPM image
file with the distribution. This option is currently only
supported by portable distributions.</P>
<P>The <I>--setup-program</I> option specifies the setup
executable to use with the distribution. This option is
currently only supported by portable distributions.</P>
<P>The <I>--setup-types</I> option specifies the
<VAR>setup.types</VAR> file to include with the distribution.
This option is currently only supported by portable
distributions.</P>
<P>The <I>-v</I> option ("verbose") increases the amount of
information that is reported. Use multiple v's for more verbose
output.</P>
<P>Distributions normally are named
"product-version-system-release-machine.ext" and
"product-version-system-release-machine-patch.ext" (for patch
distributions.) The "system-release-machine" information can be
customized or eliminated using the <I>-n</I> option with the
appropriate trailing letters. Using <I>-n</I> by itself will
remove the "system-release-machine" string from the filename
entirely.</P>
<P>Debian, IRIX, portable, and Red Hat distributions use the
extensions ".deb", ".tardist", "tar.gz", and ".rpm"
respectively.</P>
<H3>List Variables</H3>
<P><I>EPM</I> maintains a list of variables and their values
which can be used to substitute values in the list file. These
variables are imported from the current environment and taken
from the command-line and list file as provided. Substitutions
occur when the variable name is referenced with the dollar sign
($):</P>
<UL><PRE>
%install echo What is your name:
%install read $$name
%install echo Your name is $$name
</PRE></UL>
<UL><PRE>
f 0555 root sys ${bindir}/foo foo
f 0555 root sys $datadir/foo/foo.dat foo.dat
</PRE></UL>
<P>Variable names can be surrounded by curley brackets (${name})
or alone ($name); without brackets the name is terminated by the
first slash (/), dash (-), or whitespace. The dollar sign can be
inserted using $$.</P>
<H3>Environment Variables</H3>
<P>The <I>RPMDIR</I> environment variable will override where
EPM looks for RPM distributions you generate. The default
locations are <VAR>/usr/src/redhat/RPMS, /usr/src/RPM/RPMS,
/usr/src/packages/RPMS</VAR>, and <VAR>/usr/local/src/RPMS</VAR>.</P>
<H3>Known Bugs</H3>
<P><I>EPM</I> does not currently support generation of IRIX software
patches.</P>
