Depots help

[Alex Lavrov]

Hello,
I have 3 depots with 3 products each:
a.depot
b.depot
c.depot
They depend on each other, so I must install all of them, but it's very uncomfortable to open depot after depot and install it.
Is there any way to make them one depot with three products?
d.depot
|
+-- product a
+-- product b
+-- product c

thanx

yes you can. By using swcopy, you can select one product after another and install them one by one into a new depot. Once you are done copying you can select that depot to install.

Steps to do it:

- creare a dirctory /depot

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /full_path_to_depot_a "*" @/depot


swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /full_path_to_depot_b "*" @/depot


swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /full_path_to_depot_d "*" @/depot

Now, you can install from /depot:
check
swlist -s /depot
swinstall -s /depot

Hi,

Use the attached script. vi the script and change depotA, depotB, depotC with the names of your depots (should be all in the same dir).

Then you can create a bundle with your three depots an you can give the bundle a name you want.
