swinstall question

Nyck_1 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:52:25 GMT

I have a requirement to install gvim on 11.23 and its requiring 20 dependancies, normally I would just swinstall each one but this is daft. Can someone tell me an easy way to install these dependancies in one go please?

Use swcopy to place them all in one depot, from whence they can all be installed at once.

Hi Nyck,

Copy all dependencies to one depot:

swcopy -s dep1.depot \* @ /var/depot/yourdepot
.
.
.

after that install all at once:

swinstall -s /var/depot/yourdepot \*
or
swinstall -s /var/depot/yourdepot dep1 dep2 dep3 dep4 ...

regards,
ivan

Shalom,

Download all the dependency depots into a single directory and the gvim depot.

Then:
# run this in script form with $1 ad the target depot

for i in *.depot
do
swcopy -x write_remote_files=true -x enforce_dependencies=false -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ ${1}
done

Example

depmake gvim_with_deps.depot

swinstall $PWD/gvim_with_deps.depot \*

1 line install

Got it working like a dream with the script method, but i found the command line method failed. Below is what I used, what have I got wrong here?

swcopy -x write_remote_files=true -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /usr/local/downloads/vim/*.depot \* @/tmp/depot

You can't use wildcards in the swcopy command.

You must do something like this:

cd /usr/local/downloads/vim
for DEPOT in *.depot
do
swcopy -x write_remote_files=true -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /usr/local/downloads/vim/${DEPOT} \* @ /tmp/depot
done

I believe for swcopy need a full path.

# cd /tmp
# mkdir depot
# for i in /tmp/*.depot
# do
# swcopy -s $i \* @/tmp/depot
# done
# swlist -l depot
# swinstall -s /tmp/depot
