The native SCO OpenServer 5 packaging tools for drivers are documented in ``Packaging SCO OpenServer 5 drivers for installation''. Drivers that install on SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.5a and later releases can instead be packaged with the SVR5 packaging tools, although the contents of the DSP files must match the SCO OpenServer 5 requirements.
The process of installing, configuring, and packaging a driver can be summarized as follows:
When the driver is released for production, it will need packaging scripts such as postinstall to run the commands that install the driver and DSP on the target system. We recommend that you develop the packaging scripts along with the driver and use those scripts even when installing the driver for preliminary testing during the development cycle. This saves you the effort of having to do a separate testing effort on the packaging scripts after the driver software is completed and enables you to capture all the installation steps that are required at the time you discover them.
