Creating Software Packages
Creating a Product Specification File (PSF)
Chapter 10 343
The user can specify multiple
directory
source [= destination ]
file *
pairs to gather all files from different source directories into a single fileset.
If you do not want to recursively include all files and directories, use the explicit
file specification.
The directory keyword must have been previously specified before the file *
specification can be used. If not, swpackage generates an error.
Error Messages
When processing the directory recursively, swpackage encounters the following
errors:
• Cannot search directory (permission denied)
• Cannot read the file (permission denied)
• Unsupported file type encountered
PSF Extensions A PSF can contain extended file definitions. SD currently
supports exclude and include files.
Exclude files let you explicitly exclude files that would otherwise be included in
the PSF. The syntax is:
exclude filename
An exclude file can only be specified after a file definition. The file listed after the
exclude keyword is excluded from the current context (for example, from a
recursive file definition or wildcard).
If the filename specifies a directory, then all files below that directory are
excluded.
Include files let you include file definitions from a separate file. The syntax is:
file < filename
The include file must be separated from the file keyword by a less than sign (<).
Re-Specifying Files
In addition to being able to specify files as a group (with file *) for
general attributes, the PSF also allows you to “re-specify” files within
that definition to modify individual attributes.
