RE: openg package builder help

[Jim K. <jim...@ja...>]

Michael,

An OpenG Package Builder "File Group" is analogous to an OpenG Builder
"Destination".  A Package spec file must have one or more File Groups.  Each
File Group inherits from global settings, but may override the global
settings.  File Group has Platform Requirements.  If the requirements are
not met, the File Group will not be installed.  A File Group has a Source
Directory, a Target Directory, and one or more Source Files.  The Source
Directory is specified relative to the package spec file location.  All
Source File paths are specified relative to the Source Directory, for
example: <Source Directory path>/<Source File path>.  When the package is
installed on the target system the Source Files in the File Group will be
installed at <Target Directory path>/<Source File path>.  

File Group N
    Platform Requirements
    Source Directory
    Target Directory
    Source File 1
    ...
    ...
    Source File N

One thing that is currently lacking, but just around the corner, is the
ability to specify Source Files using wildcards and specify folders
(recursively).  Right now, each Source File must be specified separately.

Regards,

-Jim Kring
