Software Distributor Administration Guide (March 2009)

tag
The fileset identifier (short name).
architecture
Describes the target system(s) on which the fileset will run if
filesets for multiple architecture are included in a single product.
Provides a human-readable summary of the four uname(1)
attributes which define the exact target system(s) the product
supports. Many filesets do not include an architecture; only a
product architecture need be defined.
ancestor
A list of filesets that will match the current fileset when installed
on a target system, if the match_target installation option is
specified. Also designates an ancestor fileset to check for when
patch_match_target is defined.
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 file attribute is set to true, a built-in category_tag
attribute of value patch is automatically included with the file
definition.
description
Defines the multi-paragraph description of the fileset; the value
is either the text itself (within double-quotes) or a pointer to the
filename containing the text.
is_kernel
A value of true defines the fileset as being a contributor to the
operating system kernel; the target system(s) kernel build
process will be invoked after the fileset is installed. If this
attribute is not specified, swpackage assumes a default value
of false.
is_locatable
Defines whether a fileset 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
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.
