Hi people, okay so i downloaded some java patches. Their extension was .tgz. I gunzipped them and now they have become .tar.
Now, how do i go about installing them.
Thanks.

[khilari]

This is the output when i do tar -tvf on them.

Typically, it's nothing more than tar xvf mypatches.tar (substituting the actual name for "mypatches") and that will create a mypatches directory just below the CWD. You then cd to mypatches and there will almost always be a file "README" that gives the installation instructions.

[Rick Garland]

It was a gzip'ped tarball file.
Create the tarball then gzip it.

To get it out, ungzip
tar -xvf

These steps can be combined in a single line command

Can anyone kindly, translate the creating a depot instructions in english for me. Thanks.
Where do i get the create depot script from!!!
Creating a depot
----------------

2. Run the create_depot script as user "root". create_depot_hp-ux_11
must run on a 11.X system. The create_depot_hp-ux script unpacks the
patches, and uses swcopy to create the /tmp/patches/depot directory.

3. After the depot is created, remove the individual patches, .text, and
.depot files.

4. If you are creating more than one depot, rename the
/tmp/patches/depot directory, and remove /tmp/patches/depot.psf.

[A. Clay Stephenson]

Note that your tar listing includes the very file you are seeking, create_depot_hp-ux_11. In this case,
mkdir /var/tmp/patches
cd /var/tmp/patches
tar xvf /tmp/j1.tar
sh ./create_depot_hp-ux_11

[khilari]

I am getting an error, at the end of making the depot!!!

Thanks.

Hi,

you have to run the script as 'root'.
As another user you don't have the permissions!

Hi,

additionally to other information in this thread, you can also unzip/untar in a single command.

- list contents of archive:
gunzip -cd file.tgz | tar -tvf -

- extract contents of archive:
gunzip -cd file.tgz | tar -xvf -

antonio.
