Software Distributor Administration Guide (March 2009)

layout_version PSF syntax conforms to the layout_version=1.0
of the POSIX 1387.2 Software Administration
standard. Previous versions of SD-UX supported the
POSIX layout_version=0.8 syntax, which
continues to be supported. (You can also select the
layout version with the layout_version option for
swpackage, swmodify, swcopy, or swlist.) See
“Selecting the PSF Layout Version ” (page 226) for
more information.
tag
The short name of the target depot (tape) being
created/modified by swpackage.
copyright
The text (or a pointer to a filename) for the copyright
information for the depot’s contents.
description
The description of the target depot; either the text
itself or a pointer to a filename that contains the text.
number
The part or manufacturing number of the distribution
media (CD or tape depot).
title
The full name of the target depot (tape) being
created/modified by swpackage.
end
Ends the distribution specification, no value is
required. This keyword is optional. If you use it and
it is incorrectly placed, the specification will fail.
10.4.2.4.3 Vendor Specification
The vendor attributes let you add a description to the PSF.
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 attribute.
If a layout_version of 0.8 is specified, all subsequent products and bundles will
automatically be assigned to 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.
The following is an example of a vendor specification:
vendor
tag HP
description < data/description.hp
title Hewlett-Packard Company
end
Each keyword defines an attribute of a vendor object. If a vendor specification is
included in the PSF, swpackage requires the vendor and tag keywords.
