distribution
or depot
Keyword that begins the distribution specification. Each keyword defines an attribute of the distribu-
tion depot or tape itself. All keywords are optional, even if a distribution specification is included in a
PSF.
layout_version
Defines the semantics to use when parsing the PSF. To ensure IEEE Standard 1387.2 semantics,
define a layout_version
of 1.0, as the first attribute.
tag Defines the identifier (short name) for the distribution depot or tape.
copyright
Defines the copyright information for the distribution depot or tape; the value is either the text itself
(within double-quotes) or a pointer to the filename containing the text.
description
Defines the multi-paragraph description of the distribution depot or tape; the value is either the text
itself (within double-quotes) or a pointer to the filename containing the text.
distribution
If a distribution specification is included in the PSF, swpackage requires only the keyword plus one
or more contained product definitions. The
depot keyword can also be used in place of distribu-
tion
.
number
Defines the part or manufacturing number of the distribution depot (e.g. CD-ROM) or tape.
title
Defines the full name (one-line description) of the distribution depot or tape.
end Ends the distribution specification. This keyword is optional.
Vendor Specification
The layout_version defined for the PSF file determines how vendor specifications are associated with
products and bundles. If a layout_version
is not defined or is defined as 1.0, vendor specifications
will be associated with all subsequent products and bundles that define a matching
vendor_tag attri-
bute.
If a
layout_version of
0.8 is specified, all subsequent products and bundles will automatically be
assigned a
vendor_tag from the last vendor object defined at the distribution level, if any, or from a
vendor object defined within a product or bundle, unless a vendor_tag is explicitly defined.
Note that the vendor specification is not the same as vendor-defined attributes described in the "Vendor-
Defined Attributes" section.
The following is an example of a vendor specification:
