Is it possible to install two depot files at the same time ?

[Frank de Vries]

Hi,
I guess it is possible, but before I experiment
I thought I pick some brains first.

I have 2 depot file taht have a socalled circular reference (according to hp anyway)

gettext-0.14.5-hppa-11.11.depot
libiconv-1.10-hppa-11.11.depot

Can I install them in one command
swinstall -s depot1 depot2
or
do I do it some other way:

Thx

Sure - use swcopy to place them both in /var/spool/sw (or wherever your depot is located), then invoke swinstall interactively and select both for installation.

Hi Frank:

Add one depot to the other or copy both to a third:

# swcopy -v -s /tmp/depot -x enforce_dependencies=false \* @ /var/tmp/swdepot

Then 'swinstall' using the merged depot.

Regards!

Hi Frank

swcopy -s /dir/gettext-0.14.5-hppa-11.11.depot @ /dir2
swcopy -s s /dir/libiconv-1.10-hppa-11.11.depot @ /dir2

swinstall -s /dir2
