Creating a Product Specification File (PSF)
Chapter 10316
Differences between the two layout versions include the following:
• The vendor specification is handled differently.
For the current standard (layout_version=1.0), each vendor
class definition is associated only with subsequent products or
bundles that contain a vendor_tag attribute that matches the tag
attribute within the vendor class definition.
For the previous standard (layout_version=0.8) or if you do not
specify a layout_version, products or bundles are automatically
associated with the last vendor class you defined at the distribution
level, or from a vendor that you define within the product or bundle.
Explicitly defined vendor_tag attributes (with or without a value)
take precedence.
• The corequisites and prerequisites have singular titles for
layout_version=0.8 (that is, corequisite and prerequisite). See
“Dependency Specification” on page 335 for more information.
• Category objects and keywords are handled differently.
For layout_version=1.0 (current standard):
— category_tag is a valid product attribute that replaces the
category and category_title attributes.
—You can define category class objects.
For layout_version=0.8 (previous standard:
— category and category_title are valid product attributes that
replace the category_tag attribute.
— category class objects are not recognized.
For a more complete description of PSF requirements for
layout_version=0.8, refer to the swpackage.4 manual page in a
previous version of HP-UX.
