Appending patches to an existing bundle

[Adam Noble]

All,

I have a patch bundle which I have generated and wish to append the latest PDC patches and dependencies to the bundle. I assume this must be possible what do I need to do?

Thanks

You need to "swcopy" them to the depot.

Read "swcopy" manuals for options and parameters.

Is that all I need to do????

Hi Adam,

the answer is here:

Adam, basically yes.

Launch swcopy, choose you target depot, than choose source depot, mark the patches and copy.

Ok this is all well and good the patches have been copied into the depot however I now see a bundle plus the 6 patches. How do I remove the tag for the existing bundle and then re-create to include all patches???

Hi Adam:

If I understand correctly, you have a bundle name that you want to remove. That is, you don't want to change the contents of the depot, rather only strip off a bundle name. If so, do:

# swremove -d BUNDLE. @ /tmp/depot

Note the dot (period) immediately following the name.

Regards!

It's just the way you see it ... It doesn't matter where the patches are, as long as they are in the depot.

But if you want them inside, I think Torsten gave you the link to the answer.
