7b. Split one set into two

This study shows an example of how to split one set into two new sets.

Techniques

This case study shows examples of the following:

• breaking up a setinfo(4) file into two

• splitting the set member packages' request and default response files in the original SIP prototype(4) file into two

Approach

From the SIP's setinfo file

1. create two separate setinfo files for the two new sets being created

2. create two separate prototype files for the two new sets being created

Original setinfo file

   # Format for the setinfo file.  Field separator is: <tab>
   # pkg	 parts	default	category	package_name
   # abbr		y/n
   

   pkgw	1	y	system		Package W
   pkgx	1	y	system		Package X
   pkgy	2	n	system		Package Y
   pkgz	1	y	system		Package Y

New setinfo file for SIP 1

   # Format for the setinfo file.  Field separator is: <tab>
   # pkg	 parts	default	category	package_name
   # abbr		y/n
   

   pkgw	1	y	system		Package W
   pkgz	1	y	system		Package Y

New setinfo file for SIP 2

   # Format for the setinfo file.  Field separator is: <tab>
   # pkg	 parts	default	category	package_name
   # abbr		y/n
   

   pkgx	1	y	system		Package W
   pkgz	1	n	system		Package Y

Original prototype file

   # set packaging files
   i pkginfo
   i preinstall
   i request
   i setinfo
   i copyright
   

   i pkgw/request=pkgw.request
   i pkgx/response=pkgx.response
   i pkgy/request=pkgy.request
   i pkgz/response=pkgz.response

New prototype file for SIP 1

   # set packaging files
   i pkginfo
   i preinstall
   i request
   i setinfo
   i copyright
   

   i pkgw/request=pkgw.request
   i pkgz/response=pkgz.response

New prototype file for SIP 2

   # set packaging files
   i pkginfo
   i preinstall
   i request
   i setinfo
   i copyright
   

   i pkgx/request=pkgx.request
   i pkgy/response=pkgy.response
