HP-UX 11i June 2001 Release Notes

Compatibility
Known Compatibility Exceptions from HP-UX 11.0 to 11i
Chapter 12234
longer prints an error message when you do not qualify which version of
the bundle is intended to be installed.
Software Distributor Automatic Generation of Depot
or root Layout Version
This change allows you to maintain 10.20 and 11.x depots on an 11.x
system. It modifies the SD commands so they do NOT change the layout
version of adepot or rootautomatically. Any scripts or processes that rely
on the automatic conversion to layout_version=1.0 will be broken.
Software Distributor Log Message Simplification
This makes it easier for an administrator to identify real problems when
scanning the log files. The SD log files contain less 'noise' (error, warning
or note messages that contain no useful information).
Software Distributor System Update Process
This change gives you a more robust and easier to use HP-UX 11i update
process. You will have to learn this new process.
Software Distributor Reduces Amount of Information
from Program swlist
This change improves the performance of some “swlist” options.
Extraneous data is no longer displayed and listing of bundles in a depot
shows only bundles. Applications that depend on the old format and
behavior will have to be modified.
Software Distributor Changes Behavior with
Unknown Attributes
This change allows packagers to use new attributes in their software
packages without requiring SD to know the attribute. The”swpackage”
program will no longer print error messages when an unrecognized
attribute is encountered. You must be careful when naming attributes
because typographical errors will no longer be reported.
