Software Distributor (SD-UX) Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (762797-001, March 2014)

copyright The text (or a pointer to a filename) for the copyright information
for the depot’s contents.
description The description of the target depot; either the text itself or a
pointer to a filename that contains the text.
number The part or manufacturing number of the distribution media (CD
or tape depot).
title The full name of the target depot (tape) being created/modified
by swpackage.
end Ends the distribution specification, no value is required. This
keyword is optional. If you use it and it is incorrectly placed, the
specification will fail.
Vendor Specification
The vendor attributes let you add a description to the PSF.
The layout_version defined for the PSF file determines how vendor specifications are associated
with products and bundles. If a layout_version is not defined or is defined as 1.0, vendor
specifications will be associated with all subsequent products and bundles that define a matching
vendor_tag attribute.
If a layout_version of 0.8 is specified, all subsequent products and bundles will automatically
be assigned to a vendor_tag from the last vendor object defined at the distribution level, if any,
or from a vendor object defined within a product or bundle, unless a vendor_tag is explicitly
defined.
The following is an example of a vendor specification:
vendor
tag HP
description < data/description.hp
title Hewlett-Packard Company
end
Each keyword defines an attribute of a vendor object. If a vendor specification is included in the
PSF, swpackage requires the vendor and tag keywords.
NOTE: The vendor specification is not the same as vendor-defined attributes. See “Vendor-Defined
Attributes” (page 175) for more information.
vendor Keyword that begins the vendor specification.
tag Defines the identifier (short name) for the vendor.
title Defines the full name (one line description) for the vendor.
description Defines the multi-paragraph description of the vendor; the value is either the
text itself (within double-quotes) or a pointer to the filename containing the text.
end Ends the vendor specification. This keyword is optional.
Category Specification
(Does not apply to layout version 0.8.) A software collection can contain a list of category objects
that are used as a selection mechanism. Category objects are identified by the keyword “category”
and contain additional information about the category. The category_tag attribute points to a
particular category object and can appear anywhere within a product, bundle, subproduct, or
fileset.
All software objects with the attribute of is_patch set to true are automatically assigned a category
of “patch.”
