What is the syntax to register a depot file as depot?

[Tingli]

I have those depot files in a directory which I want them to be available in the net. But a direct # swreg depot @ /var/spool/sw won't work although I have all those depot files kept there.

Hi

Did you tried as following swreg -l depot /var/spool/sw ?

Hi:

# swreg -l depot /var/spool/sw

If you use 'swcopy' to copy files to a depot, regristration of the resulting depot is automatic.

Each of those individual .depot files is it's own depot. You would have to register each one;

swreg -l depot /var/spool/sw/${depot}.depot

I thought I could registered the whole directory altogether and failed many times. But after a while I forget the whole painful process and try register the directory again.

The answer is there.

I just wanted to mention that if you register the individual depots and do not use swcopy you will get an error if you try to access the depot using swinstall on another server. It will state that the depot is a remote tape and cannot be used.
