Create bundle from .depot files

[Laszlo Csizmadia]

Which is the quickes and most simple way to create a bundle from my several SD depot file?
Well, I guess I can somehow untar the depot files, create an appropiate PSF file then swpackage. But is there a more efficent way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please try swcopy and make a central bundle.
Then use swinstall and either select all or one-by-one,and install it.

You can use swcopy to make bundle from depot files.
If you want to install several patches and want to make bundle of themthen you can use script whihc come with patch bundle when you download them.

But I want to put all the sofwares in DS format (.depot file) to a single bundle. Then swcopy this bundle to e.g. /var/spool/sw.
This only makes a new target depot containg all me sw's but doesn't put them to a common bundle:
# mkdir /tmp/depot
# ls -1 | xargs -i -t swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /home/ba/depot/{} \* @/tmp/depot
# swreg -l depot /tmp/depot

Hi,

I am not sure to understand very well your need; anyway the following could be useful:

Hi,

If you have Ignite available you can do it that way:

1. ensure, that a temporary depot i.e./tmp/depot is empty i.e. using swremove -d

2. Copy the depot source files into the temp depot. here a non interactiv expample:
#swcopy -s /swdepot/source/sudo-1.6.6.sd-11.00.depot -x enforce_dependencies=false \* @ /tmp/depot
... and other swcopy's as required for the same future bundle

3. Make ONE bundle outof all these products/bundles i.e.:
#make_bundles -B -n "local-sudo" -t "Your Title" -r "Your Version" /tmp/depot

4. finally swcopy from /tmp/depot to your final location.
Dont forget to set the enforce_dependencies=false option.

hope this helps
