Created the package - how to depot?

Roland Rebstock_1 — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 14:37:50 GMT

All, Ive been attempting to create a depot and got to the point that a package under /var/spool/sw/proftpd has been created but how do I turn this into a depot that I can install into another server?

swinstall recongnizes the software when I specify /var/spool/sw but its not in a depot format

im getting this but it doesnt seem to be giving me what I would expect. Im attempting to take this package in /var/spool/sw Proftpd and turn it into a depot but when doing the swcopy and specify it to goto /tmp it just copies the data in the same format as whats in /var/spool/sw so in /tmp i get a Proftpd DIR and all the subdirs and its doesnt appear to be a depot. Normally the depots I see are all in 1 file *.depot and its not DIR.

Like this:

First step, copy depot into location:

swcopy -s /usr/local/src/T1471AA_A.03.81.002_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot \* @ /var/software/SSH/

Step 2, register the depot:

swreg -l depot /var/software/SSH/

Step 3, list depots:

swlist -l depot

Step 4, on remote server, install software:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s sha1:/var/software/SSH \* @`uname -n`

How did you make your package? Cause it sounds like you made your depot in the process. Do as Geoff suggests to install it on another server over your network, or you could use 'shar' to make it one "depot" file, do a man on 'shar'.
