swpackage and swinstall don't create empty directories

[Lars Ebeling]

Dear all,

I am trying to make a depot-file and have almost succeeded. When running swinstall empty directories are not installed. Do I have to have a file in all directories ?

Regards
Lars

Hi Lars,

Basically, in PSF file you will be specifying source and target directories. something like,

../bin/test /usrlocal/product/bin/test

Could you able to see files when you run

# swlist -l file -s
# swlist -l fileset -s

Shalom Lars,

I would suggest creating place holder files or a post-installation script that create the necessary empty directories.

If your script adds a service with auto startup, the script in /sbin/init.d can create the empy directories the first time the daemon runs.

IS there any information in log files? Can you show the lines used in .psf file?

Attached is an extract from the psf-file. The empty directories are not created.

I made swlist -l file .....

The empty directories were not in the depotfile, so it is swpackage that doesn't include them
