DescriptionDefect ID
last product (or bundle) is removed from the depot, then the depot's
swagent.log and directory will also be removed.
swpackage does not prevent a directory from being packaged as a README
or control file. It has been modified to not allow a directory to be packaged
as a README or control file.
JAGaf83577
SD has fixed to reset the O_NONBLOCK flag in stdout and stderr.JAGaf94697
SD is fixed to not display a message similar to the following when loglevel=0:JAGag02305
A control has been added that will allow a user to disable swagentd. This
can be accomplished by setting the SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD entry in
/etc/rc.config.d/swconfig to "0".
JAGag05035
During update of a VxVM system from 11.11 to 11.23, a message similar
to the following may be issued to the console during bootup after the update:
VxVM vxconfigd NOTICE V-5-1-4838 ddl_search_and_place: Library
#libvxemc.sl validation fails
This is fixed by a new /sbin/rc1.d/S090sw_clean_vxvm startup script
delivered in the SW-DIST product.
JAGag05171
When a bundle is selected because it's a reference bundle, it will be excluded
when an older version is already installed.
JAGag05445
The message issued when a dependency cannot be selected because a patch
that supersedes it has already been selected does not contain enough
JAGag05770
information. An additional message has been added that logs the identifiers
of the patches that have a conflict.
The CIFS file system is now supported. The CIFS file system is treated as
CDROM/DVD media so read-only is the only type of access available.
JAGag07018
When a product specification is used for a bundle content and it contains
the fileset architecture (fa=), the product's filesets were not listed when swlist
JAGag08008
was used to list the bundle's filesets. swlist has been changed to ignore the
fileset architecture when no fileset is specified in a bundle content.
The control_utils cu_run_cmd() function is fixed to properly parse command
lines with arguments and to set return code correctly. The control_utils msg()
function is fixed to handle text that begins with a dash character.
JAGag09132
When a product that contains a request script is installed to an alternate
root, and there is no existing product installed there, swinstall fails when it
JAGag10542
attempts to store the response file in the alternate root. swinstall has been
changed to create the alternate root target before it attempts to store the
response file in it.
When a newer version of a product repackages a subproduct as a fileset,
the SD function: IA_GetStrAttribute(), generates an internal error when the
JAGag10636
newer version is installed. SD has been changed to recognize this type of
change and not generate an error.
The message for kernel build displayed by non-interactive swinstall is changed
from WARNING to NOTE, and text of the message is improved.
The old message was:
WARNING: The software specified contains a fileset that changes the kernel.
Either the attribute dynamic_module, used for dynamic changes, is specified,
or the is_kernel attribute, used for static changes, is set to true.
The new message is:
NOTE: The software specified contains a kernel fileset or a dynamic_module
fileset. The kernel will be modified, and if necessary the system will be
JAGag13103
rebooted. stalled. SD has been changed to recognize this type of change
and not generate an error.
