Hi Patrick,

Other way round my friend.
Bundled is in contrib & porting center goes into local by default,

Take a look at the install tree for gzip at the center & then do a swlist -l file on the SD-UX product as that's what brings it in.


See ya,
Jeff

What is the process for relocating? Do I modify something before I do swinstall to make it go into the correct directory. Or do I install into /usr/local/bin and then move it into /usr/contrib/bin.

mv gzip

example
mv /usr/bin/gzip /usr/contrib/bin

Hi Charles,

Yep - you have to mv it post install, but I would

mv /usr/local/bin/g* /usr/contrib/bin
mv /usr/local/bin/z* /usr/contrib/bin

As it installs more than just gzip.
Also it installs docs into /usr/local/doc & /usr/local/info as well as MAN pages into /usr/local/man/man1

And remember any updates or patches to the SD utils & possibly even Ignite could overwrite it so check it with gzip -V from time to time.

Rgds,
Jeff (Who wishes that HP would get their act together on this *one* of these days.)
