This command line interface enables you to package your Node.js project into an executable that can be run even on devices without Node.js installed. Make a commercial version of your application without sources. Make a demo/evaluation/trial version of your app without sources. Instantly make executables for other platforms (cross-compilation). Make some kind of self-extracting archive or installer. No need to install Node.js and npm to run the packaged application. No need to download hundreds of files via npm install to deploy your application. Deploy it as a single file. Put your assets inside the executable to make it even more portable. Test your app against new Node.js version without installing it. pkg was created for use within containers and is not intended for use in serverless environments. For those using ZEIT Now, this means that there is no requirement to use pkg in your projects as the benefits it provides are not applicable to the platform.

This project has a lively SVN repository for build recipes, over 1000 F/OSS softwares are available. The tool "pkgbuild" is for building packages on Solaris 11/OpenIndiana from RPM-like spec files. The tool also runs on OmniOS. If you want, you can create new style IPS packages and old style SVR4 packages for Solaris 10. The tool is not updated frequently, but the following "build recipes" for pkgbuild is updated every day. For a few hundred build-recipes see the sub-project "spec-files-extra" or "SFE". We already have stacks of e.g. multimedia players mplyer/vlc or postfix/dovecot/cyrus-sasl/spamfiltering. But there is so much more to be added! Volunteers to the build-recipes are always welcome. Please ask on the mailing list or irc://irc.freenode.org/#pkgbuild Please proceed now with the link below and remember to visit "SFE" on the left and browse through the available packages list in SVN. Or go for one of the binary repositories with ready-to-use IPS packages.
