The swlist man page is updated to show how to use swacl to restrict remote
listing of installed software.
JAGaf62774
When the last product (or bundle) is removed from a depot and the swremove
option, remove_empty_depot, is set to true, by default the swagent.log and
JAGaf71780
directory will remain on the system. A new option,
remove_empty_depot_directory, has been added which will allow the
swagent.log and directory to also be removed. Its default is false. When this
option is set to true, the remove_empty_depot option is set to true, and the
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:
JAGag05171
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.
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.
