Packaging your software applications

10. Distributing packages over multiple volumes

As a packager, you need not worry about placing package components on multiple volumes. pkgmk(1) performs the calculations and actions necessary to organize a multiple volume package.

However, you can use the optional part field in the prototype(4) file to define in which part you want an object to be placed. A number in this field overrides pkgmk and forces the placement of the component into the part given in the field. There is a one-to-one correspondence between parts and volumes for removable media.
