Sample Script for Adding an SVR4 Package to an Image

If you have a package that is in SVR4 format, you can test that package in an image before you convert it into an IPS package. You can use a finalizer script to add the content of an SVR4 package to the image. See the following custom script and note the comments in the script that explain how the script accomplishes this task.

Example A-3 Sample Script for Adding SVR4 Packages

#!/bin/ksh
#
#
# Name:
# add_my_svr4_pkg
#
# Description:
# This script will build an image using an SVR4 package
# located at a user specified file path.
#
# Note:
# The user must modify this script and provide a valid
# path to an SVR4 package in the PKG_PATH variable.
#
# #
# Args:
#
#   5 arguments are passed in by default from the DC.
#
#   MFEST_SOCKET: Socket needed to get manifest data via ManifestRead object (not used)
#   PKG_IMG_PATH: Package image area
#   TMP_DIR: Temporary directory
#   BR_BUILD: Area where boot archive is put together (not used in this example)
#   MEDIA_DIR: Area where the media is put (not used)
#
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if [ "$#" != "5" ] ; then
        print -u2 "Usage: $0: Requires 5 args:"

        print -u2 "    Reader socket, pkg_image area, tmp dir,"
        print -u2 "    boot archive build area, media area"
        exit 1
fi

PKG_IMG_PATH=$2
if [ ! -d $PKG_IMG_PATH ] ; then
        print -u2 "$0: Image package area $PKG_IMG_PATH is not valid"
        exit 1
fi
