Software Packager for Linux and UNIX › Create a Patch for a PIF Package

Create a Patch for a PIF Package

You can provide patches to update existing PIF packages. A patch for a PIF package is created, built, distributed, and installed like a "normal" PIF package.

To create a patch for a PIF package, proceed as follows:

• Right-click a package in the Project pane and select New patch from the context menu.

  The Create a new patch product wizard launches and guides you through all necessary steps to create a PIF patch product for the selected package.

• After you complete all the steps and exit the Create a new patch product wizard, the PIF patch product appears in the Project pane of the Packager GUI, and you can modify it like any other "normal" PIF package listed in the Project pane.

Note: Some tabs in the Packager GUI will be grayed out, because they do not apply to the PIF patch products.
