Depot file and Depot registration

[John J Archer]

I'm trying to install the vim s/w. I have downloaded a file w/ a .depot extention.
I do I register this as a valid depot so I can install the s/w?

swgreg -l depot full_path_of_depot

Not required to to regiset it to install it.

You need to do

swinstall -s "/full_path/depot_name"

Hi John,

You don't need to register it. If it is a file, just specify it as the source in your 'swinstall' window.

Hi

It is not required to register if it is a single file. You can install it like
swinstall -s /tmp/a.depot

Yep,

Told you how to do something you probably don't need to do.

If you intend to make that depot available on the network via nfs, you do need to do swreg, otherwise, my colleagues that know how to read better than I have given you correct instructions.

Good Luck,
