Packaging a toolkit for redistribution

You package a toolkit to allow other SPL application developers to access the operators and functions that are defined in the toolkit.

Procedure

  1. Identify the artifacts that your toolkit includes.
    • A toolkit must include the following artifacts that are used by the toolkit.xml file:
      • toolkit.xml
      • info.xml (if present)
      • Resource bundle files
      • C++ header and Perl module
      • Code generator templates (cgt)
      • Headers
      • Libraries
    • If you want users to rebuild the toolkit, then the toolkit must include the following additional files:
      • Source code
      • All the files within the impl/nl directory
  2. Create a package of the toolkit directory that contains the identified artifacts. You can use commands such as zip or rpm to package the toolkit directory.
