README Zipped Repo

This script installs zipped IPS repository components into a designated directory by uncompressing the files, verifying the repository, and optionally creating an ISO image. It can add contents to an existing repository after checking for changes or rebuilding the catalog and index files. The usage includes options to specify the destination, source of zip files, image name, and enable checksum validation, verification, and ISO image creation.

install-repo.ksh README v.1.

4 5/15

This command will unzip and install zipped IPS repository image components
into the designated directory.

The script will perform the following functions:

Validate checksums of downloaded files (optional)


uncompress each part into a specified directory
verify the repository image (optional)
create an ISO file for mounting and distribution (optional)

In addition, if the selected destination already contains a repository, you


will be given the option of adding the new repository contents to the existing
repository (and rebuild the catalog and index files).

Note that if the option to create an ISO image is used, the README for it's
use is contained at the top level of the destination as supplied by the -d
option.

USAGE:
install-repo.ksh -d dest [-s zipsrc] [-i image-name] [-c] [-v] [-I] [-y]

-d dest = destination directory to hold repository


-s zipsrc = full path to directory holding zip files. default: current directory
-i image = name of image: e.g. sol-11_3-repo default: name found in directory
-c = compare checksums of downloaded zip files
-v = verify repo after unzipping
-I = create an ISO image
-y = add to existing repository without prompting for yes or no. Use
with caution.

Destination directory will contain top-level ISO files including README.


Repository is directly under destination.
ISO image is created in current directory, or zipsrc directory from -s
argument. The directory must be writable in order to create the ISO image.

Options:
Use the -s (source) option to specify a location for the downloaded zip files
that is different than the location of the install-repo.ksh script. Otherwise,
it is assumed that the script and the zip files are all within the current
working directory.

The -i option can be used to specify one of multiple releases that might
reside in the same download directory. For example, if the download files from
Solaris 11.3 Beta and the Solaris 11.3 final release reside in the same
directory, then "-i sol-11_3-beta-repo" will select the Solaris 11.3 beta files.
By default, even with multiple releases, the newest download is selected.

Without specifying a release with -i when multiple releases are present in the
same download directory, the newest "part 1" zip file is used to determine
which files will be used.

If an existing repository is selected as the destination, then the user is


prompted to add onto the repository. If the answer is "yes", then the contents
of the downloaded zip files are added to the existing repository, and the
catalog and search indices are rebuilt to include the new packages.
It is recommended that the ZFS filesystem in which the existing repository
resides has a snapshot created prior to applying the new repository contents.
If the -y option is used, information is displayed regarding the existing
repository, and then the installation will automatically proceed without
intervention.

Here is a sample output using the checksum and repo verification flags, as
well as creating an ISO image. The selected destination already contains a
repository.

$ install-repo.ksh -d /tank/repos/dev -I -v -c
