4. Localboot products: automatic software distribution with opsi
we create the folders 'CLIENT_DATA.CompanyX' and 'CLIENT_DATA.CustomerY'.
In both the new directories you create another folder 'custom_ins_dir' which
contains the additional software of the respective version. Later on, when installing the
package on a server, the custom folder 'custom_ins_dir' will become a direct
subdirectory of the main product folder:
/home/opsiproduct/softprod/custom_ins_dir
It is also possible to create another wInst-script in this directory, which can be called
from the actual setup wInst-script during client installation. The custom wInst-script can
be started from the main wInst-script like this:
if FileExists("%ScriptPath%\custom_ins_dir\custom.ins")
sub "%ScriptPath%\custom_ins_dir\custom.ins"
endif
To pack the product package you will have to change to the base product directory
'/home/opsiproduct/softprod/'. Then pack the product for 'CompanyX' by calling
'makeproductfile -i CompanyX'. Use the same name as the corresponding
CLIENT_DATA-directory !
So: CLIENT_DATA. => makeproductfile -i .
The request for packing the package for 'CustomerY' is done similar:
'makeproductfile -i CustomerY'
The base version of the package (without any custom extension) will be packed by just
calling 'makeproductfile' without -i parameter.
The custom package
softprod.-_.opsi
can be distributed and installed like any other packet.
