for destination ﬁle objects based on existing source ﬁles. (Meaning the mode, owner/uid, group/gid are set

based on the source ﬁle, unless speciﬁc overrides are speciﬁed for a destination ﬁle.)

WARNINGS

Some releases of swpackage do not work correctly with the -t type construct in a PSF. The

swpack-

age

program in the HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11) PHCO_34295 patch, 11i v1 (11.11) OEUR available after the

patch, 11i v2 (11.23) March 2006 OEUR, and newer releases work correctly with all -t type usages. If a

speciﬁc use of -t type creates packages that are correct, all releases of other Software Distributor commands

such as swlist, swcopy, swinstall, etc, can be used with those packages.
