Table D-1 1387.2 Portability Capability Summary
Specifies a software packaging layout and utilities that operate on that packaging layout as well as software installed from that packaging layout. It covers the administration of software across distributed systems. Administration includes packaging of software for distribution, distribution of software to systems, installation and configuration of software on systems, and removal of software from systems, however, it is not limited to this.
