Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)
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:
