Matt,

There are PDF files on developer.cobalt.com that describe how to create PKG
files and there are also template PKG files for the different platforms.  If
you haven't read the PDF file I suggest reading it in detail.  To access the
site you need to register, but it's a painless process.  Be advised that if
you use the register_me functionality, it's best to make that clear to your
users in advacne and to optionally provide a version without a register_me
file.  As far as building RPMs goes, this doc is probably a good place to
start.

Good luck and enjoy!
