How can I create one big software bundle ?

Hello,
can anybody tell me, how I can create one big software bundle with about 70 small depot files with patches and software?
With "swinstall -s" I was only able to install one depot file. It would be great, if I could see all depot files with swinstall and I have only to mark each I want to install.

for i in PH*
do
sh $i
done

for i in *.depot
do
swcopy -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ ${1}
done

Just put the softare in depots all in once place and run this script.

Take out the PH* and use * if you want to include software depots as well.

Hi,

download the patches to a temp dir.

# cd /tmp/patches
for i in PH*
do
swcopy -s /tmp/patches/$i \* @ /mydir/mypatches.depot
done

# swreg /mydir/mypatches.depot

If they're already in depot form, swcopy them all together, or use swpackage to make them into depots and then swcopy them.
