Move objects from DEV to QA

Question

My database is a 10.2.0.4 database running on HPUX IA64 box.
I have a requirement to move a Package and a Trigger from DEV to QA.
Package ETH_OWAI.CAI_E1_Trigger_pkg
Trigger ETH_OWAI.CAI_F4311_AIUDR
Could someone please help me with the steps as to how to do it?
- can I do an exp/imp for only a package and a trigger. What should be the parameters that I should use?
- Or should I get the scripts of the objects using dba_source and execute the script in QA? Since the package has 10000 lines, I dont think I will be able to get it using dba_source.
Please let me know!

Short term solution:
You can try to use DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL to generate the source code from database dictionary using SQL*Plus statements:
SQL> set long 100000
SQL> set heading off
  1* SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('PACKAGE', 'PCK', 'HR' ) txt from dual
SQL>/
  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "HR"."PCK"
is procedure p;
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "HR"."PCK"
is
procedure p
is
l_i int;
begin
select s.nextval into l_i from dual ;
insert into t values(l_i);
end;
end;
SQL> spool source.sql
SQL> /
  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "HR"."PCK"
is procedure p;
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "HR"."PCK"
is
procedure p
is
l_i int;
begin
select s.nextval into l_i from dual ;
insert into t values(l_i);
end;
end;
SQL> spool off
SQL> host type source.sql
SQL> /
  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "HR"."PCK"
is procedure p;
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "HR"."PCK"
is
procedure p
is
l_i int;
begin
select s.nextval into l_i from dual ;
insert into t values(l_i);
end;
end;
SQL> spool off
SQL>Long term solution:
Use a source code versioning system like Subversion to manage your source code.
