Depots help

Alex Lavrov — Mon, 11 Aug 2003 10:18:32 GMT

Hello,
I have 3 depots with 3 products each:
a.depot
b.depot
c.depot
They depend on each other, so I must install all of them, but it's very uncomfortable to open depot after depot and install it.
Is there any way to make them one depot with three products?
d.depot
|
+-- product a
+-- product b
+-- product c

thanx

yes you can. By using swcopy, you can select one product after another and install them one by one into a new depot. Once you are done copying you can select that depot to install.

Steps to do it:

- creare a dirctory /depot

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /full_path_to_depot_a "*" @/depot

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /full_path_to_depot_b "*" @/depot

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /full_path_to_depot_d "*" @/depot

Now, you can install from /depot:
check
swlist -s /depot
swinstall -s /depot

Use the attached script. vi the script and change depotA, depotB, depotC with the names of your depots (should be all in the same dir).

Then you can create a bundle with your three depots an you can give the bundle a name you want.
