What PSF magic do I use to load a bundle ?

[David G Jones]

Hi,

I have created my own PSF [lets call say for product dave] I want to set a corequisite on an HP bundle [B6848BA]. In the PSF if I refer to individual products viz :

corequisite GTK+

then the package loads up the stuff I need. What I really want to do, is load the whole bundle, without listing the contents ... how do I do that ?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question, but if you want to include the complete GTK+ product as a corequisite, you will HAVE to include "corequisites GTK+.fileset" lines for each fileset in the product.

More information on including bundles, products or filesets as corequisites can be found at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Carl_Staelin/mkpkg/help/fileset.html

I understand about specifying the individual products. What I was hoping to do - is just specify the bundle [in some way]. Looking at the URL you provide, the author thinks its best to always specify filesets anyway !

Hi Dave,

I've looked at the swpackage(4) man page and it seems that it should be possible. The part in it about "software_specification" also applies to dependency listings and therefore you should be able to use globbing in your PSF. If the bundle is called B6848BA, you should can specify either

"corequisites B6848BA"
or
"corequisites B6848BA.*"

I can't guarantee that this works, though :-)
