DESCRIPTION

       gpt-pkg Creates binary packages from an installation.  The installation needs to contain
       GPT packaging data files. An installation is created by running gpt-build on a collection
       of source packages or bundles.

FILES IN PGM PACKAGES

       Installed files such as executables that are found in pgm and ptm_static packages will
       overwrite one another when multiple flavors of the same package are built by gpt-build. To
       preserve multiple flavors of these files, gpt-build copies them into flavored
       subdirectories.  For example, the program $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/foo will be copied into the
       location $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/gcc32/shared if it was built with dynamically with the gcc32
       flavor.  gpt-pkg retrieves these files and copies them back to their proper location
       before packaging them.  Thus gpt-pkg will also overwrite these files as it archives the
       different flavors of a pgm package.

OPTIONS

       -installdir
               Specify the directory in which the installed files currently live.  If this
               argument is not supplied, the value of the environment variable GLOBUS_LOCATION is
               used instead.

       -all    Packages all of the binaries in an installation.

       -native Creates a package in the native packaging format.  Currently only rpm is
               supported.

       -rpmprefix=<path_to_installation>
               This should be set to the path to your GLOBUS_LOCATION.  GPT will use a value of
               "/usr/grid" if this option is not specified.

       -rpmlicense=<label>
               Provides an alternate copyright label for the rpms. The default is whatever GPT
               was configured with.

       -verbose
               Prints out all of the build messages.

       -log=FILE
               Appends all of the build messages to FILE. This option also sets -verbose.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -man    Prints the manual page and exits.

       -version
               Prints the version of GPT and exits.

pgm and pgm_static packages

       gpt-build copies the files for these packages in a flavored location because different
       flavors of these types of packages will conflict with each other.  gpt-pkg restores these
       files when it packages pgm and pgm_static types.
