Software Distributor Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (5900-2561, March 2013)

product Required keyword that begins the product specification.
tag The product’s identifier (short name).
architecture The target system on which the product or bundle will run. Provides a
human-readable summary of the four uname attributes (machine_type,
os_name, os_release and os_version), which define the exact target
system(s) the product supports.
bundle Required keyword that begins the bundle specification.
category_tag A repeatable tag-based attribute identifying a set of categories of which the
software object is a member. This is used as a selection mechanism and can
be used independent of patches. The default value is an empty list or patch
if the is_patch attribute is set to true. Like vendor_tag, this attribute can
be used as a pointer to a category object that contains additional information
about the category (for example, a one-line title definition and a description
of the category).
NOTE: The category tag patch is reserved. When the is_patch product
attribute is set to true, a built-in category_tag attribute of value patch is
automatically included with the product definition.
contents The list of fully qualified (all version distinguishing attributes included)
software specs for the bundle.
copyright A multi-line description of the product’s copyright; either the text itself (in double
quotes) or a pointer to the filename that contains the text.
description A multi-paragraph description of the product; either the text itself (within
double-quotes) or a pointer to the filename that contains the text.
directory The default, absolute pathname to the directory in which the product’s files
will be installed (the root directory of the product). If not specified, swpackage
assigns a value of /.
is_locatable Defines whether a product or bundle can be installed to any product directory,
or whether it must be installed into a specific directory. The attribute can be
set to true or false. If not defined, swpackage sets the default attribute to
“false.”
is_patch A boolean flag that identifies a software object as a patch. The default value
is false. When set to true, a built-in category_tag attribute of value patch
is automatically included with the product definition.
machine_type The system type on which the product will run. If not specified, the keyword
is assigned a wildcard value of *, meaning it will run on all machines. If there
are multiple platforms, you must separate each machine designation with a
| (vertical bar). For example, a keyword value of 9000/7*|9000/8* means
the product will run on all HP Series 9000 Model 7XX or all HP 9000 Series
8XX machines. Alternatively, the value 9000/[78]* would also work.
Other examples:
* (If not concerned with the machine type.)
9000/7??:32* (Series 700, 32-bit capable hardware required)
*:*64 (64-bit capable hardware required)
*:32: (32-bit capable hardware required)
9000/7??:*64 (Series 700, 64-bit capable hardware required)
9000/[78]??:32* (Series 800, 32-bit capable hardware required)
9000/[78]??:*64 (Series 800, 64-bit capable hardware required)
