Update-UX

 |
updated for December 2003
Update-UX has been updated to incorporate defect fixes and
to support changes to the Operating Environments.
updated for September 2003
Starting with the September 2003 release, the Update-UX product
includes a “default selections” file, update-ux.selections, which is installed in /usr/lib/sw. This file provides a list of bundles that will be selected
for install during an OS update to the September 2003 release.
Also new with the September 2003 version of Update-UX is support
for the -f selection_file option on the update-ux command line. This allows you to create your own selections
file and specify that your file be used in place of the “default
selections” file. This provides you with the flexibility
to “deselect” any bundles listed in the update-ux.selections file by providing your own file, which doesn’t
contain these bundles. In order to do this, you must first install
the September 2003 version of the Update-UX product onto your target
system, then copy and edit the /usr/lib/sw/update-ux.selections file as desired. Then, when executing update-ux, your custom selections file can be specified on the update-ux command line via the -f selection_file option.
updated for June 2003
Update-UX, starting with June 2003 OEUR, includes its own
copy of Software Distributor (SD). This allows the system being
updated to end up with an HP-UX 11i v1 SD which preserves NIS+ functionality.
new for March 2002
The update-ux script, once a part of the SW-DIST.SD-UPDATE fileset, has been moved to the new Update-UX product
in the Update-UX.UUX fileset. As a result, customers can now install the update-ux script and its accompanying update-ux manpage on a 10.20 or 11.00 system (using instructions
in the HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide).
