mkds -- make datastream image for Install Diskette installation

Synopsis

:mkds -s set -l locale [-v] [-F] [-D dir] [-i dir] [-o dir] [-I dir] [-f file] [-G script]

Description

The :mkds script provides the mechanism by which a datastream image suitable for a UnixWare 2.1 Install Diskette installation is created. This datastream image is used for both tape media and cdrom media.

-s set
Required to specify set name. For UnixWare 2.1, the 1 set supported is UnixWare.

-l locale
Required to specify target locale. For UnixWare 2.1, the 2 sets supported are efigs and ja. Also available are each individual component of efigs: C, fr, it, de and es. Note that no official SCO media is created for the C, fr, it, de and es locales.

-v
Provides more verbose output.

-F
Forces complete processing, default is incremental processing of only those packages which have been remade since the last execution of :mkds.

-i spool_dir
The input spool directory.

Default is $ROOT/$SPOOL.


-o stage_dir
The spool directory used as an intermediate staging area. Once :mkds is completed, the contents of this directory are no longer required for future incremental executions of :mkds and can be removed if space is required.

Default is $ROOT/$SPOOL/stage.


-I image_dir
The directory where processed images for each package are stored. These images along with some header information comprise the Install Diskette datastream image. Once :mkds is completed, the contents of this directory are used by later incremental executions of :mkds.

Default is $ROOT/$SPOOL/image.


-f output_file
Specifies the filename to be used for the Install Diskette datastream image.

Default is $ROOT/$SPOOL/image/set_name.image.locale. Or if the -I option is used, the default becomes image_dir/set_name.image.locale.


-G getpkginfo_file
Uses the provided getpkginfo_file in place of the default getpkginfo file. This file is used to gain knowledge of the individual UnixWare 2.1 packages.

Default is $ROOT/usr/src/$WORK/build/tools/getpkginfo.
