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/Training 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.
