Shalom Nshenba,

Though not directly an answer to your question, JRF's doc is a very useful one and deserved a better response/rating than you gave it.

Here are a few documents with steps just as you asked:

Hi (again):

If your questions deserved a simple, one-line answer I might have offered that. It's too bad you're too lazy to take the time to read and learn.

Basically you can only copy or merge depots (swcopy) but packaging (swpackage) them is hard.

swinstall -s /path-to-depot

For a depot server, all you need to do is swcopy or "swreg -l depot" to register the depot.

swinstall -s server:/path-to-depot

On a side note:

Search my recent topics. I am doing the same exercise and questioned many queries which may be common to you.
Not to say, they got perfectly answered here.
