All packages we currently use on Schillix have been put into a state where
SPS already creates something that is very close to the input for pkgmk(1)
and this input is currently used to create an installable (*) tar package.
*) The package is one of the > 50 packages that are extreacted and install
while running the script "makeiso" that creates the SchilliX CD ISO image.
