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

The depot’s product_template ACL is generated from the host’s
global_product_template ACL (that is, the host’s template ACL for new
products).
The user running swpackage is established as the owner of the new depot and
is granted permissions as defined in the depot ACL (which come from the
global_soc_template).
New product swpackage creates an ACL for the product; the ACL is generated from the
depot’s product_template ACL.
ACL creation can be disabled by setting the create_target_acls command
option to false.
When no ACL exists for a depot, only the superuser can create new products
or add/modify depot attributes. When no ACL exists for a product, only the
superuser can modify it.
10.6.5 Repackaging or Modifying a Software Package
There are two types of repackaging:
1. Adding to or modifying a fileset in an existing product.
• Editing the PSF by adding a new fileset definition or changing an existing fileset’s
definition.
• Running swpackage on the edited PSF, specifying the new/changed fileset on the
command line:
# swpackage -s psf <other options> \
product.fileset @ depot
This invocation works regardless of whether subproducts are defined in the product.
• If you change a fileset by changing its tag attribute, swpackage cannot correlate the
existing, obsolete fileset with the new fileset. Both become part of the changed product.
To get rid of the obsolete (renamed) fileset, use swremove:
# swremove -d product.old_fileset @ depot
2. Modifying an entire existing product.
• Editing the PSF by adding new fileset definitions, changing existing fileset definitions,
deleting existing fileset definitions or changing the product’s definition (product-level
attributes).
• Running swpackage on the PSF, specifying the product on the command line:
# swpackage -s psf <other options> product @ depot
• If you have deleted some fileset definitions in the PSF or modified a fileset by changing
it’s tag attribute, swpackage will produce warning messages about the existing filesets
that are not part of the modified product’s definition (in the PSF). The existing filesets plus
the new filesets in the product’s definition (in the PSF) will all be contained in the modified
product.
The warnings are produced during analysis phase, and are only produced when the
whole product is being repackaged (as opposed to subsets of the product).
• To get rid of the obsolete (renamed) filesets, use swremove:
# swremove -d product.old_fileset @ depot
• You may want to swremove the product entirely before repackaging the changes:
# swremove -d product @ depot
# swpackage -s psf <other options> product @ depot
