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

default value is false. If the is_patch attribute is true, is_sparse is also
set to true for the fileset, although it can be forced to false.
machine_type The machine type on which the product will run. If not specified, the
keyword is assigned a wildcard value of *, meaning it will run on all
machines. If there are multiple machine platforms, you must separate each
machine designation with a | (vertical bar). For example, a keyword value
of 9000/7*|9000/8* means the product will run on all HP Series 9000
Model 7XX or all HP 9000 Series 8XX machines. Alternatively, the value
9000/[78]* would also work.
Other examples:
* If not concerned with the machine type.
9000/7??:32* Series 700, 32-bit capable hardware required.
*:*64 64-bit capable hardware required.
*:32: 32-bit capable hardware required.
9000/7??:*64 Series 700, 64-bit capable hardware required.
9000/[78]??:32* Series 800, 32-bit capable hardware required.
9000/[78]??:*64 Series 800, 64-bit capable hardware required.
The value is matched against a target’s uname -m or getconf
_CS_HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS result.
os_name Defines the operating system(s) on which the files will run if a fileset
architecture has been defined. (If not specified, swpackage assigns a
value of *, meaning the files run on all operating systems.) If there are
multiple operating systems, use wildcards or use the ’|’ character to
separate them. This attribute should pattern match to the value of uname
-s or getconf KERNEL_BITS on the supported target systems.
os_release Defines the operating system release(s) on which the files will run. (If not
specified, swpackage assigns a value of *, meaning the files run on all
releases.) If there are multiple operating system releases, use wildcards or
use the ’|’ character to separate them. This attribute should pattern match
to the value of uname -r on the supported target system(s).
os_version The version number of the operating system(s) on which the product will
run. If not specified, the attribute is assigned a value of *, meaning it runs
on any version. If there are multiple operating systems, use wildcards or
the | symbol to separate them. The value is matched against a target’s
uname -v result.
revision Defines the revision (release number, version number) of the fileset.
supersedes Used when a patch is replaced by (or merged into) a later patch. The
attribute indicates which previous patches are replaced by the patch being
installed or copied. This attribute value is a list of software specifications
of other patches that this patch supersedes.
title Defines the full name (one-line description) of the fileset.
end Optional keyword to end the fileset specification. No value is required. If
you place this keyword incorrectly, the file specification will fail.
Dependency Specification
The swinstall, swcopy, swverify, and swremove commands recognize software
dependencies. The default behavior for swinstall, for example, prevents an install unless all
dependencies are met.
