Unconfigure
Undoes configurations performed by configure scripts. (Executed
by swconfig and swremove.)
Unpostinstall Undoes a postinstall script in case swinstall must initiate
recovery during the installation process. (Executed by
swinstall.)
Unpreinstall
An undo preinstall script in case SD must initiate recovery during
the install process. (Executed by swinstall.)
Verify
Verifies the configuration of filesets or products in addition to
the standard swverify checks. (Executed by swverify.)
10.4 Creating a Product Specification File (PSF)
SD-UX uses a Product Specification File (PSF) to define the physical product package.
The PSF provides a “road map” that identifies the product according to its attributes,
contents, compatibilities, dependencies and descriptions. The PSF drives the swpackage
session. It describes how the product is structured and defines the attributes that apply
to it.
SD-UX packages, distributes, installs files. The SD-UX packager uses these files after
they have been built and installed into specific directory locations. These directory
locations may reside in separate, unconnected directory trees or in the specific file
locations needed to make the software run on your system. You can specify files by a
root directory (gathering all files below it) or by explicit individual file paths. The file
attributes can be taken from the files themselves, specified separately for each file, or
specified for a set of files.
The PSF can:
• Define vendor information (optional) for groups of products (including all
products), or for individual products.
• Specify one or more products (required).
• For each product, define attributes for one or more subproducts (optional), filesets
(required), and files (required).
• Define attributes for the distribution depot/media (optional).
• Specify what computer(s) and operating system(s) the product supports.
• Define attributes that describe the software objects.
10.4.1 Product Specification File Examples
10.4.1.1 Minimal PSF
Here is an example of the minimum PSF, which includes only the required keywords.
This PSF creates a product SD with fileset commands and contains one file, /usr/
