creating a depot

[Jonathan Caplette_1]

Hi guys,

I've downloaded several depot files, to install Gimp and is libs, but I don't want to install all the depot files 1 by 1.... can I create a big depot for all that depot???

Thanks
Jonathan

Sure John, use swcopy.

Sure .. something like this ..say all your *.depot files are in /tmp and you want to create a single depot in /tmp/mydepot
# cd /tmp
# for i in $(ls *.depot)
> do
> swcopy -s $i -x enforce_dependencies=false \* @ /tmp/mydepot
> done

if you want to distribute it all as a depot later you can use the make_bundles command of ignite.

Later,
Bill

Hi Jonathan,

download at least two patches at once form the ITRC patch sides, and you'll get a tar/zip file with a shell script to create a depot from the individual patch-depots included!
Just adapt that script to your needs...

FWIW,

Go to this link:

This should tell you everything you ever wanted to know about using the swcopy command to create a single depot from multiple depot files.

I found this to be a bit easier going than working it out from the man pages.

Kind regards,

Darn ITRC messages seem to be down at the moment. This link should work as soon ITRC sorts itself out.
