depot help

[David Johns]

I need to help a non-technical person install a depot at a remote site. It's unlikey that I will be able to access the machine directly.

The depot in question is at:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/X11/Viewers/ImageMagick-5.5.7/

The problem is there are 12 dependencies. Is there any way I can take all 13 depots and make a super depot? Or can all 13 be installed at once on the command line?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

Use swcopy to put all 13 depots together into one "super depot", then have your non-technical person install from there. I generally copy directly into /var/spool/sw which is the default location. You can then have non-techie run swinstall interactively and the default /var/spool/sw will show him all 13 packages. He selects and installs them all and you're done!

Download all patches. Use swcopy to prepare a one depot file for all depot. Copy it at /var/adm/sw-default location.

Then let remote person run swinstall so he gets the 13 depots.
