HP-UX 11i June 2001 Release Notes

Installation
Software Distributor (SD-UX) (new at 11i original release)
Chapter 6 135
control_utils file
New functionality has been added and defect repair has been done to the
/usr/lbin/sw/control_utils file. Documentation on the
control_utils functions can be found at
http://software.hp.com/SD_AT_HP/info.html under the link
“Control Script Guidelines (CSG)”. The control_utils library is a
collection of shell functions which can help packagers produce better
software packages.
New Environment Variable SW_COMPATIBLE
A new environment variable SW_COMPATIBLE has been created for use
during the execution of a verify script which is called by the swverify
command. The variable will be set to TRUE if the software being
considered is compatible with the system it is installed on, and set to
FALSE if it is incompatible. This new variable will help control script
writers determine if installed software is incompatible and should be
removed from a system.
Documentation
The Software Distributor Administration Guide has been extensively
updated for accuracy and completeness for HP-UX 11i (inlcuding many
new examples) and is available on the HP-UX Instant Information CD
and on the http://docs.hp.com web site. Another excellent source of
information on SD-UX is the SD-UX web site:
