Creating and Mastering a CD-ROM Depot
When swpackage creates a new depot or packages a new product, it
always creates an ACL for the depot/product. If you were to create a
depot and then master it onto a CD-ROM, the CD-ROM would contain all
those ACLs, which could cause the following problems:
• it may result in too-restrictive permissions on the CD-ROM depot.
• you could have too many user-specific ACLs on the CD-ROM.
To solve these problems, you can tell swpackage to not create ACLs in the
depot by setting the create_target_acls option to false.
This feature is provided only for the superuser because only the local
superuser can change, delete, or add ACLs to a depot that has no ACLs.
The local superuser always has all permissions.
Setting the create_target_acls to false causes swpackage to skip the
creation of ACLs for each new product being packaged (and for the depot,
if it is new). This option has no impact on the ACLs that already exist in
the depot.
When a depot is used as a source for other SD-UX operations, its ACLs
(or lack of ACLs) have no bearing on the ACLs created for the targets of
the operation. Source ACLs are not related to target ACLs.
The swpackage command never creates ACLs when software is packaged
onto a tape.
