Software Packaging Overview
Application software is delivered in units called software packages. A
software package is a collection of files and directories required to install
a software product. Generally, a software package is designed and built
by the application developer after completing the development of the
application code.
Building a software product into one or more software packages gives
you the ability to do the following:
• Transfer the software product to a distribution media
• Produce the software product in mass quantities
• Install the software product on multiple systems
