Creating a depot

[George Chechakunnil]

Hello admins,

I have a few open source tools installed on our HPUX systems like sendmail, apache etc..

I have used make, make install, .configure etc to do the install.

is there a way i can make it to a Depot so i can install on other servers using swinstall?

Thanks in advance
George Abraham

You can create depot with swpackage command - http://docs.hp.com/en/SD/cookbook.html#d0e302

but first you need to create PSF file.

To my mind better way is to use precompiled versions from Internet Express - http://docs.hp.com/en/SD/cookbook.html#d0e302

or Apache - http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXWSATW217

Hi George,

if you would like to package software compiled by yourself, you would need to create a psf file as Ivan stated above, here's some link how to do it: http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90754/ch10s04.html

If you already have product/bundles created, it's easy to group them in a depot by swcopy command.

Cheers, Jan
