The method creates metainformation files, used by installable binary archives. In case of single binary package it writes to D. In case of several ones it saves results in their subdirectories by template IMGDIR/subpackage.

The method is not connected with existing package managers in default core implementation. It generates simple text information as reference. A module with support of some existing package format should implement this method in its own way.

The method must write to D or IMGDIR.

The method is expected to use any-api(7) variables:

D

IMGDIR

PV

BPV

PN

BPN

BP

DESCRIPTION
