Requesting a Linux package

A Linux® package build uses the information in a Linux package definition to generate an archive of deployable binary files as a compressed file. Create and configure your Linux package definition, then request a package that is based on those specifications.

Procedure

  1. Expand your project area, then Enterprise Extensions > Packages, then right-click your Linux package definition.
  2. Select Create Package.
    The Request Build wizard opens.
  3. Expand the Timestamp Based Package Options node. You can specify a ship list file. Select a time stamp and package binary files that are newer than your time stamp. Your time stamp must be in this format: YYYYMMDD-HHmmssSSSS, for example, 20130523-1204590526.
  4. Expand the Packaging options node and select Open summary work items.
  5. Click Submit.
