Software Distributor Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i

Creating Software Packages
Creating a Product Specification File (PSF)
Chapter 10324
Category Specification (Does not apply to layout version 0.8.) A
software collection can contain a list of category objects that are used as
a selection mechanism. Category objects are identified by the keyword
“category” and contain additional information about the category. The
category_tag attribute points to a particular category object and can
appear anywhere within a product, bundle, subproduct, or fileset.
All software objects with the attribute of is_patch set to true are
automatically assigned a category of “patch.”
NOTE The layout_version keyword in the distribution class affects how
categories are associated with products and bundles. See “Selecting the
PSF Layout Version” on page 315 and “Product Specification File
Semantics” on page 321 for more information.
The category specification looks like this:
category
tag patch_normal
title Category of patches
description For normal problems
revision 0.0
end
Each keyword defines an attribute of the category object. If a category
specification is included in the PSF, swpackage requires only the
category and tag keywords.
category Keyword that begins the category specification.
tag The category short name identifier. Associates this
object with a product or bundle. This tag attribute
must match the category_tag attribute in the product
or bundle.
title A one-line string that defines the full name for the
category.
description A multi-line description of the category. The description
value can consist of text or a filename for a text file.
