| mahaag 04:23 Nov 16, 2008 | I just checked your code and the way you build th AIX packages after I had some problem with the space in the /usr filesystem although I installed the files into another filesystem. The problem with theway you are currently building the package is, that all files are in the "root" part of the installation. For AIX this means that they are once installed into the desired place but also kept as backup in /usr/lpp/<packageName>. So you probably can imagine what happens if you create some large package and install them... I would like to suggest you to use mkinstallp with a template file on AIX (HowTo see attachment). Of course mkinstallp and the template file offer more options, but I think this gives good entry to the machanism. Thanks a lot in advance if you regard this request! Very great software. |
| dap5399 09:30 Jan 05, 2010 | I resolved the problem by updating the aix.c code to include our standard installation directory. Example: if (!strncmp(file->dst, "/usr/", 5) || !strncmp(file->dst, "/opt/", 5) || !strncmp(file->dst, "/export/", 5)) |
