Configuring package definitions
You create a custom installation package by creating a package definition file
and then building the package. The package definition file contains the
configuration information and installation instructions that Symantec Packager
requires to build the package. Within the package definition file, you choose the
products or custom commands that you want to include, installation sequences,
and package installation and logging options. Optionally, a package definition
file can include technical support information.
Adding products and commands to a package definition
Symantec Packager lets you create a custom installation package that includes
one or more products or custom commands. As you add an item to a package
definition file, its properties, as defined in the product or command
configuration file, are displayed in the Package Editor dialog box. This
information may include product requirements or conflicts. A configuration file
is required for each product or custom command that you want to include.
See
“Configuring custom products”
on page 35.
See
“Configuring custom commands”
on page 47.
Figure 9-2
shows the Package Editor dialog box, which lets you configure
packages.
