swpackage

swpackage is used to create a SD/UX package. First a PSF file must be created to tell swpackage how to create the package

e.g. swpackage -v -s product.psf -d target_depot_directory

To preview the results use:

swpackage -p -vv -s product.psf -d target_depot_directory

An example PSF file is listed below:

# Example psf file to be used with SD/UX swpackage distribution layout_version 1.0 # Vendor definition vendor tag Intronet title Intronet Computers Limited end # Product definition product tag S700 title Medusa Update Software revision 1.0 category software category_title HP Series 700 Software architecture S700_HPUX_10.0 machine_type 9000/7* directory / is_locatable false # Subproduct definitions subproduct tag Applications title Application Software contents application end subproduct tag Diagnostics title Diagnostic Software contents diagnostic end subproduct tag Patches title Patches contents patch end # fileset definitions fileset tag application title Application Software # Files directory /var/patch/S700/applications=/dev/rmt/2m file * end # fileset definition (diag) fileset tag diagnostic title Diagnostic Software # Files directory /var/patch/S700/diagnostics=/dev/rmt/2m file * end # fileset definitions (patch) fileset tag patch title Patch Software # Files directory /var/patch/S700/patch=/dev/rmt/2m file * end end

swpackage can also be used to create a SD/UX tape from an existing package in a depot

e.g. swpackage -s depot -d /dev/rmt/nm -x target_type=tape

After you have created a depot on disk you need to register it using: swreg -l depot

Can use swcopy to copy a depot from tape on to disk. A menu driven option is provided for this.

A depot can also be moved using tar, ftp/rcp , untar and then using swreg -l
