Planning your product structure

The first step to creating a software distribution with CDMT
is to decide on a product structure and organize your files in that structure:

• Divide your product into separate components; a component is a basic unit of functionality.
  

• Divide each component into packages; a package is a unit of software that can be installed or removed.
  

• Divide each package into subpackages, if appropriate.

For example, the SCO OpenServer product is divided into components, such as XClients and WServer. Each of these components is divided into packages, such as man.
