User's Guide
The packaging process is based around this idea: Each
application should completely define its packaging needs. The
implications of this idea follow:
- There need not be a single "packaging expert" who is expected to
understand the entire system's packaging requirements.
- Each application designer must anticipate the special packaging needs of
the application and provide that information in the form of packaging
hints. Certain design choices will make the application easier or
harder to package.
- By having all components define and maintain their own packaging
requirements, the chances of successfully packaging large applications
increase.
