Software Distributor Administration Guide (March 2009)

NOTE: The vendor specification is not the same as vendor-defined attributes. See
“Vendor-Defined Attributes” (page 230) for more information.
vendor
Keyword that begins the vendor specification.
tag
Defines the identifier (short name) for the vendor.
title
Defines the full name (one line description) for the vendor.
description
Defines the multi-paragraph description of the vendor; the value is
either the text itself (within double-quotes) or a pointer to the
filename containing the text.
end
Ends the vendor specification. This keyword is optional.
10.4.2.4.4 Category Specification
(Does not apply to layout version 0.8.) A software collection can contain a list of category
objects that are used as a selection mechanism. Category objects are identified by the
keyword “category” and contain additional information about the category. The
category_tag attribute points to a particular category object and can appear anywhere
within a product, bundle, subproduct, or fileset.
All software objects with the attribute of is_patch set to true are automatically
assigned a category of “patch.”
NOTE: The layout_version keyword in the distribution class affects how
categories are associated with products and bundles. See “Selecting the PSF Layout
Version ” (page 226) and “Product Specification File Semantics” (page 230) for more
information.
The category specification looks like this:
category
tag patch_normal
title Category of patches
description For normal problems
revision 0.0
end
Each keyword defines an attribute of the category object. If a category specification is
included in the PSF, swpackage requires only the category and tag keywords.
category
Keyword that begins the category specification.
tag
The category short name identifier. Associates this object with a
product or bundle. This tag attribute must match the
category_tag attribute in the product or bundle.
title
A one-line string that defines the full name for the category.
