Let me just answer you, as I was going through that process recently...

You start by making sure that you have squeakMap installed, so you can test your sar-files locally. Take the newest image and open the World-Menu ->open...->Package Loader

Then you create a zip file out of your files (choose any of your to be distributed files in the FileList and say "add file to new zip", Neds Archive Tool is opened).

Create a special file in the Filelist called: install:preamble and edit it. (If you are on apple like me, just call it preamble, we will rename it later)

In this install:preamble file (rename it with Neds Archive Tool, if the name does not fit) you can write plain Smalltalk-Code.

A common use, is to file in the members of your archive, which you can write like:

self fileInMemberNamed: theNameOYourMember

Add the preamble to your archive (and make sure to rename it at least now also with Neds Archive Tool),

Save that as yourPackageName.sar and try to install it in your SqueakMap-Image.

If this works fine, you are ready to upload it to SqueakMap. This means first you upload it to any ftp/http-server of your choice. (at least this is how I did it).

Then you go to SqueakMap-Central at http://map2.squeakfoundation.org/sm/regpackage

and do the registration work. I'd also send a mail to the list, with something like [GOODIE] and praise your program... :-)

Good luck,

Markus

Markus' description sounds fine to me too but Ned has also built a package called "SAR Builder" (on SqueakMap of course) which probably can help you produce the sar file in a much easier way than doing it "manually". Haven't used it myself but that is my guess.
