-n[mrs] ] [ -s setup.ext ] [ --depend ] [ --help ] [ --keep-files ] [
--output-dir directory ] [ --setup-image setup.ext ] [ --setup-program

DESCRIPTION
epm(1) generates software packages complete with installation, removal,
and (if necessary) patch scripts. Unless otherwise specified, the
files required for product are read from a file named "product.list".
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized:
-a architecture
Specifies the actual architecture for the software. Without this
option the generic processor architecture is used ("intel",
"sparc", "mips", etc.)
-f aix
Generate an AIX distribution suitable for installation on an AIX
system.
-f bsd
Generate a BSD distribution suitable for installation on a Free‐
BSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD system.
-f deb
Generate a Debian distribution suitable for installation on a
Debian Linux system.
-f inst
-f tardist
Generate an IRIX distribution suitable for installation on an sys‐
tem running IRIX.
-f lsb
-f lsb-signed
Generate RPM packages for LSB-conforming systems. The lsb-signed
format uses the GPG private key you have defined in the ~/.rpm‐
macros file.
-f native
Generate a native distribution. This uses rpm for Linux, inst for
IRIX, pkg for Solaris, swinstall for HP-UX, bsd for FreeBSD, Net‐
BSD, and OpenBSD, and osx for OS X. All other operating systems
default to the portable format.
-f osx
-f osx-signed
Generate an OS X software package. The osx-signed format uses the
signing identity in the EPM_SIGNING_IDENTITY environment variable.
-f pkg
Generate an AT&T software package. These are used primarily under
Solaris.
-f portable
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]
-f rpm
-f rpm-signed
Generate a Red Hat Package Manager ("RPM") distribution suitable
for installation on a Red Hat Linux system. The rpm-signed format
uses the GPG private key you have defined in the ~/.rpmmacros
file.
-f setld
Generate a Tru64 (setld) software distribution.
-f slackware
Generate a Slackware Linux software distribution.
-f swinstall
-f depot
Generate a HP-UX software distribution.
-g Disable stripping of executable files in the distribution.
-k Keep intermediate (spec, etc.) files used to create the distribu‐
tion in the distribution directory.
-m name
Specifies the platform name as a string. The default is to use
the auto-generated name from the -n option.
-n[mrs]
Specifies the operating system and machine information that is
included in the package name. 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 elimi‐
nated using the appropriate trailing letters. Using -n by itself
will remove the "system-release-machine" string from the filename
entirely. The letter 'm' includes the architecture (machine).
The letter 'r' includes the operating system version (release).
The letter 's' includes the operating system name.
-s setup.ext
-v Increases the amount of information that is reported. Use multi‐
ple v's for more verbose output.
--depend
Lists the dependent (source) files for all files in the package.
--output-dir directory
Specifies the directory for output files. The default directory
is based on the operating system, version, and architecture.
--setup-image setup.ext
Include the ESP Software Wizard with the specified image file with
the distribution. This option is currently only supported by por‐
table distributions.
--setup-program /foo/bar/setup
Specifies the setup executable to use with the distribution. This
option is currently only supported by portable distributions.
--setup-types setup.types
Specifies the setup.types file to include with the distribution. This
option is currently only supported by portable distributions.
