Software Distributor (SD-UX) Release Notes, HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (766151-001, March 2014)

Table 17 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
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.
JAGag13103
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
rebooted. stalled. SD has been changed to recognize this type of change
and not generate an error.
Add improved formatted manpages.JAGag13600
The swmodify man page and the on-system SD options reference at
/usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults are updated to show that adding
JAGag13978
"swmodify.loglevel=1" to /var/adm/sw/defaults file will enable logging by
swmodify invoked in a control script.
The message prefix is changed to be NOTE or ERROR for SD controller
messages showing how to access more information in the SD agent logfile.
JAGag14329
The choice of prefix is now based on whether there have been any ERROR
conditions shown in the SD controller logfile. Examples of affected messages
are:
NOTE: More information may be found in the agent logfile using the
command "swjob -a log hostname-0014 @ hostname:/".
or
NOTE: More information may be found in the agent logfile (location is
hostname:/var/adm/sw/swagent.log).
When a directory is changed to a file of a different type, the change is now
logged in swagent.log. The change is most likely intentional, but it may be
the result of accidental mis-packaging of the directory so it is reported.
JAGag16827
When a new dynamic module is installed using interactive swinstall, a popup
says the kernel will be rebuilt even though installing a new dynamic module
JAGag18718
will not by itself cause a kernel rebuild. Swinstall is fixed to not show the
popup message in that case, unless there are other reasons to show the
popup message.
