NAME
make_depots − build Ignite-UX SD depots
SYNOPSIS
make_depots −d target_depot [-r release ][option ][-? ]
make_depots −r release [ option ][-? ]
DESCRIPTION
make_depots copies bundles from a Software Distributor (SD) source into a depot which may be used
by other Ignite-UX tools. While it may be invoked directly by a user, it is provided mainly for use by other
Ignite-UX commands. It goes beyond what swcopy provides in that it knows about the organization of
Ignite-UX depots and the ignitability of certain application bundles.
Certain category bundles are considered "core" category bundles, and are treated differently than other cate-
gory bundles. These categories are HPUXEnvironments for releases prior to B.11.11, and HPUXBaseOS,
OpEnvironments, and LanguagesUI for releases beginning with B.11.11. These behavioral differences are
described below.
Errors are always logged to stderr. More detail may be found in the log file (see -l below).
Options
make_depots recognizes the following options:
−d target_depot Specifies the target depot. If target_depot has trailing slash characters (/), a
warning is given and the characters are stripped. See the Target Depot
section for more details.
−r release Specify the release of the target depot. It must be of the form:
B.[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9], such as B.11.23. See the Target Depot
section for more details.
−s source_depot
Specifies the source depot. The source_depot may be one of four depot types.
If source_depot contains a ":" character, it must be a depot of the form
host:path.Ifsource_depot is a regular file, it must be a serial depot (the
output from swpackage with target_type=tape directed into a file)
and it must be an absolute path name. If source_depot is a directory, it must be
a local depot. If source_depot is a character device file, it must be a DDS tape.
If source_depot is a block-device file, it must be an unmounted CD. The CD
will be mounted during the execution of this command and unmounted when it
has completed. The default source_depot is /dev/rmt/0m.
−o os_revision Specifies the operating system revision which will be processed. It must be of
the form B.[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9], such as B.11.23. For "core" category
bundles, os_revision must match the architecture exactly. For all other category
bundles, os_revision must pattern match the bundle os_revision. If both
−r and −o options are provided, a warning is issued if they are not the same.
The default action is to process all operating system revisions in the source
depot. However, the default target depot organization of Ignite-UX is structured
such that it is advisable to use this option if the source depot has more than one
operating system revision.
−a [700|800] Specifies which architecture which will be processed. See the Target
Depot section for more details.
−m release_suffix
Specifies a release suffix to add to the depot name. See the Target Depot
section for more details.
