9089.0. "problems with /bin/kits" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Ricardo Lopez Cencerrado) Mon Mar 10 1997 12:15

I am trying to generate a kit, but I have problems running the /bin/kits
command.
The kit only contains to files in two different directories.

The data directory containing the kit files contains:

/usr/var/tmp/hstcom/data
# ls
HST100.k         HST100.mi.bkp    HST100.mi.extra  HST100.mi.tmp
HST100.mi        HST100.mi.dead   HST100.mi.join
# cat HST100.k
NAME='hstcom EPI server'
CODE=HST
VERS=100
MI=HST100.mi
COMPRESS=0
%%
HSTSQO100       .       0       'hstcom cics EPI server'

# cat HST100.mi
./usr/opt/HST100        HSTSQO100
./usr   RESERVED
# cat HST100.mi.extra
./usr   RESERVED
./usr/opt       RESERVED
./usr/opt/HST100        HSTSQO100
./usr/opt/HST100/hstcom HSTSQO100
./usr/opt/HST100/samples/hstcom.sh      HSTSQO100
# cat HST100.mi.join
  ./usr 
  ./usr/opt 
  ./usr/opt/HST100 
  ./usr/opt/HST100/hstcom 
  ./usr/opt/HST100/samples 
  ./usr/opt/HST100/samples/hstcom.sh 
# cat HST100.mi.tmp
./usr
./usr/opt
./usr/opt/HST100
./usr/opt/HST100/hstcom
./usr/opt/HST100/samples
./usr/opt/HST100/samples/hstcom.sh

The full tree structure for this kits follows:

The result of running the command kits is:

# kits HST100.k ../src ../output
%%
Creating 1 hstcom EPI server subsets.



        Generating media creation information...invcutter: cannot stat
HSTSQO100
 (No such file or directory)
failed to create HSTSQO100.inv.

I have already modified the kits command as explained in entry 2029 in this 
conference. I have also copied the new manual refered in entry 8006 but it
seems
to say the same on running this command.

The result of running the command, from the data directory, is the same using 
both versions of the /bin/kits command.

What am I doing in a wrong way ???

I am running DUnix 3.2G as obtained from the command:

# grep "Mar 10" /var/adm/messages | head
Mar 10 06:40:35 dc227 vmunix: LK401 keyboard, language Espanol
Mar 10 06:40:35 dc227 vmunix:
Mar 10 06:40:35 dc227 vmunix: Alpha boot: available memory from 0x814000 to
0x40
00000
Mar 10 06:40:35 dc227 vmunix: Digital UNIX V3.2G (Rev. 62)


Thanks in advance,

Ricardo.

Your .mi file is invalid.  It takes 3 fields, not 2.

The first field is a bitmask (usually 0 for directories and
4 for anything else).
