NAME
make_depots - build Ignite-UX SD depots
SYNOPSIS
make_depots -d target_depot [ -r release ][option ][
-? ]
make_depots -r release [ option ][
-? ]
DESCRIPTION
make_depots copies bundles from a Software Distributor (SD) source into a depot which may be used
by other Ignite-UX tools. While it may be invoked directly by a user, it is provided mainly for use by
other Ignite-UX commands. It goes beyond what
swcopy provides in that it knows about the organiza-
tion of Ignite-UX depots and the ignitability of certain application bundles. It also knows about operating
system archives and the impact of these on the filesets that get loaded into core target depots.
Certain category bundles are considered "core" category bundles, and are treated differently than other
category bundles. These categories are HPUXEnvironments for releases prior to B.11.11, and HPUX-
BaseOS, OpEnvironments, and LanguagesUI for releases beginning with B.11.11. These behavioral
differences are described below.
Errors are always logged to
stderr. More detail may be found in the log file (see -l below).
Options
make_depots recognizes the following options:
-d target_depot
Specifies the target depot. If target_depot has trailing slash characters (/), a warn-
ing is given and the characters are stripped. See the Target Depot section for
more details.
-r release Specify the release of the target depot. It must be of the form:
B.[0-9][0-9].[0-
9][0-9], such as B.11.23. See the Target Depot section for more details.
-s source_depot
Specifies the source depot. The source_depot may be one of four depot types. If
source_depot contains a ":" character, it must be a depot of the form host:path.
If source_depot is a regular file, it must be a serial depot (the output from
swpackage with target_type=tape
directed into a file) and it must be an
absolute path name. If source_depot is a directory, it must be a local depot. If
source_depot is a character device file, it must be a DDS tape. If source_depot is a
block-device file, it must be an unmounted CD. The CD will be mounted during the
execution of this command and unmounted when it has completed. The default
source_depot is
/dev/rmt/0m.
-o os_revision Specifies the operating system revision which will be processed. It must be of the
form B.[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9], such as B.11.23. For "core" category bundles,
os_revision must match the architecture exactly. For all other category bundles,
os_revision must pattern match the bundle
os_revision. If both -r and -o
options are provided, a warning is issued if they are not the same. The default
action is to process all operating system revisions in the source depot. However, the
default target depot organization of Ignite-UX is structured such that it is advisable
to use this option if the source depot has more than one operating system revision.
-a [700|800] Specifies which architecture which will be processed. See the Target Depot sec-
tion for more details.
-m release_suffix
Specifies a release suffix to add to the depot name. See the Target Depot sec-
tion for more details.
-t core_archive
Specifies that processing should be done with the assumption that operating system
archives will be used. All HPUXEnvironments bundle wrappers will be copied to
the depot, as will all filesets that are not in all language bundles, and all HPUX-
BaseOS bundle wrappers will be copied to the depot. This option implies the -i
option.
