pkgmap ( this is the tricky part, might want to read http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.aix.files%2Fdoc%2Faixfiles%2Fpkgmap_4.htm )

bash-3.2# cat pkgmap
# Each pkgmap must have one line that provides information about the number and maximum size (in 512-byte blocks) of parts that make up the package. 
# This line is in the following format ":number_of_parts  maximum_part_size"

Most of the content can be gathered with find

find  -printf '%y none %p %m root root %s\n' 

The missing parts are:

• part: A field designating the part number in which the object resides. A part is a collection of files, and is the atomic unit by which a package is processed. A developer can choose the criteria for grouping files into a part (for example, based on class). If no value is defined in this field, part 1 is assumed.

• ftype: sym links need the l replaced for an s and the path modified ie.

  1 s none /etc/rc3.d/S99local_ddmi=../init.d/ddmi

• cksum: You can use the cksum command to get this info, I'm sure this could be included in the find line my kungfu is lacking.
• modtime: The time of last modification. This field is not specified for named pipes, special devices, directories, or linked files and it's epoch time

Package it

tar cvzf ddmi-agent.0.1.sol10-x86.pkg.tar.gz .

fpm -t solaris outputs packages installable with pkgadd -d thepackage

I did some scouring for old packages, found them on OpenCSW - The file format of solaris srv4 packages is called "package stream":

% file ant-1.7.0,REV=2007.09.17-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg
ant-1.7.0,REV=2007.09.17-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg: pkg Datastream (SVR4)
% head -1 ant-1.7.0,REV=2007.09.17-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg 
# PaCkAgE DaTaStReAm

This is the file format that we want to reproduce, I think. I can roughly read it with a text editor, but the header for each file is a bit non obvious.
