The products managed by the PIF SDK can be packaged in a variety of packaging formats, including:
Although you cannot create new products in a format other than PIF, you can register, install, or at least list, existing product packages in other packaging formats, using PIF SDK functions.
The Installer manages dependencies from PIF products to required packages in other packaging formats, including PKG, RPM, AIX, and HP-UX packaging formats.
AIX and HP-UX packages are listed by the lsm command and considered by the Installer's dependency checker.
Patches on System V Release 4 systems (that is, Sun Solaris, SCO UnixWare, and NCR) are listed by the lsm command and considered by the Installer's dependency checker.
Apple Macintosh Mac OS X packages installed in the /Applications directory are listed and registered within the DSM Explorer. The query and removal methods provided by the Installer (lsm command) apply also to Mac OS X packages. During installation of Mac OS X packages the Installer adjusts all icons and menus.
PIF packages can be registered to computers running Mac OS X and are visible on those computers within the OSX package manager.
