Hi Yada,

The pkg format is usually a tarball.

Inside the tarball, you have something like the following layout :

packing_list
RPMS/
RPMS/an_rpm.i386.rpm
RPMS/another_rpm.i386.rpm
scripts/
scripts/post-install/
scripts/post-install/script
scripts/pre-install/
scripts/pre-install/script
scripts/pre-uninstall/
scripts/pre-uninstall/script
scripts/post-uninstall/
scripts/post-uninstall/script
scripts/other

The server unpacks, reads the packing list, runs the pre-install scripts,
then installs rpms.
After that, it will exectute the post-install scripts.
The best way to learn how to build a package, it to take a current package
apart:

tar -xvf BlueQuartz-FC1-Awstats-5.9-3.pkg (as an example).

Note, I think I remember seeing some packages gzipped also
After building your package,  put it all together with a tar command like:

tar -cvf BlueQuartz-FC1-Awstats-5.9-3-1.pkg RPMS scripts packing_list

Dear List, Please correct me if I am wrong!

Jimbob
