Installing without pkgadd

Pkgadd sets up a few variables which the installation script will use. If you are using the script without pkgtool, you have to set the variables manually:

VERSION=x.y.z               (x.y.z = the version number)
BASEDIR=/var/spool/pkg/SSHssh2/reloc 

Also remember to export the variables.

Unpack the distribution to some suitable temporary space. The above-mentioned BASEDIR applies only if you put the package in the directory /var/spool/pkg. In this case, you have to do the installation manually, using the postinstall command:

gzip -dc package | tar xvf -
cd SSHssh2/reloc
tar cf - . | (cd /usr/local; tar xfBp -)
cd ../install
./postinstall
