How to unzip custom patch file created as patches.zip

[Helen Herring]

I selected several patches and then downloaded all the patches as a bundle. File was created as a .zip file. How do I unzip the file. Will a .depot file then be created?

Hi,
Use "gunzip " to unzip the file.

Use sh to extract the .depot file.

Hi,

You would have selected "gzip" format while downloading the patches so that you can gunzip to uncompress them.

Since it is in zip format, I would suggest to use either windows pkunzip or winzip to extract the files on your windows system. Ftp the files back to your server into a seperate directory. You can notice a script called create_depot_hp-ux_11 along with the patches in the zip file. Run the script and it will copy the indivicual patches into a depot from which you can easily install the patches.

There is a README file also supplied with this zip file. Go through it for more details.

Yes, I just found out the gunzip did not work. Received the following:
gunzip: patches.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored
That sounds like alot of trouble. I will just download again. I figured there would be a command on unix server to unzip the file.
Thanks,

Zip/Unzip is also available for unix. Precompiled HP-UX binaries available on my ITRC page: https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/#Downloads
