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.
