swpackage(1M) swpackage(1M)
checksums to determine if a new file should overwrite an old file. Use of checksums slows
the comparison but is a more robust check for equivalency than size and time stamp.
If set to false, SD does not compute checksums and compares files only by size and times-
tamp.
run_as_superuser=true
This option controls SD’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated as true) when
the invoking user is super-user.
When set to the default value of true, SD operations are performed normally, with permis-
sions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by SD ACLs. (See swacl(1M)
for details on ACLs.)
When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user, nonprivileged mode
is invoked:
• Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system permissions.
• SD ACLs are ignored.
• Files created by SD have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode of created
files is set according to the invoking user’s umask.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating system
or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distributor
Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com web site.
See also the
admin_directory
option.
software=
Defines the default software_selections. There is no supplied default. If there is more than
one software selection, they must be separated by spaces. Software is usually specified in a
software input file, as operands on the command line, or in the GUI.
source_file=psf
Defines the default location of the source product specification file (PSF). The
host:path
syntax is not allowed, only a valid path can be specified. The -s option overrides this
value.
source_type=directory
Defines the default source type: cdrom, file, directory,ortape. The source type
derived from the
-s option overrides this value.
targets=
Defines the default target_selections. There is no supplied default. If there is more than
one target selection, they must be separated by spaces. Targets are usually specified in a
target input file, as operands on the command line, or in the GUI.
uncompress_cmd=
Defines the command to uncompress files when installing, copying, or packaging. This
command processes files which were stored on the media in a compressed format. If the
compression_type of the file is gzip then the internal uncompression (
funzip)is
used instead of the external
uncompress_cmd.
verbose=
Controls the verbosity of a non-interactive command’s output:
0 disables output to stdout. (Error and warning messages are always written to stderr).
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
2 for swpackage and swmodify, enables very verbose messaging to stdout.
The -v option overrides this default if it is set to 0. Applies to all commands.
write_remote_files=false
Prevents file operations on remote (NFS) file systems. All files destined for packaging on
targets on a remote (NFS) file systems are skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote file system, the
remote files are not skipped.
