Thank you, Tim.
I tried putting the following in the ruby-18.p5m pkg manifest:
dir path=usr/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/lib/ruby/gems/$(RUBY_VER)/bin \
salvage-from=var/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/gem_home/bin
dir path=usr/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/lib/ruby/gems/$(RUBY_VER)/cache \
salvage-from=var/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/gem_home/cache
dir path=usr/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/lib/ruby/gems/$(RUBY_VER)/doc \
salvage-from=var/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/gem_home/doc
dir path=usr/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/lib/ruby/gems/$(RUBY_VER)/gems \
salvage-from=var/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/gem_home/gems
dir path=usr/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/lib/ruby/gems/$(RUBY_VER)/specifications \
salvage-from=var/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/gem_home/specifications
Only the usr/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/lib/ruby/gems/$(RUBY_VER)/bin
and var/ruby/$(RUBY_VER)/gem_home/bin directories did not exist in the
previous version
of the package. One wrinkle is that there *could* be duplicate ruby
gems already
installed by the user in the target
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/{bin,cache,doc, gems,specifications}
directories, in which case I would say that we should *not* move them.
I wasn't able to get the above entries to move any files, installing the
new ruby-18 pkg
onto a S11 Update 1 build 23 system. I even tried it with no
conflicting duplicate
files/dirs between the salvage-from dir and the target dir. Do you have
any ideas on
what I might be missing?
Thanks,
April

Note that I also played with using the "salvage-from" action on the
directories into which
I want to move the in files; salvage-from can be used to move unpackaged
contents from
a directory it names. I haven't been successful in getting this action
to work either.
Yep, 'salvage-from' is exactly what you should be using - it's
designed for exactly this reason: to move unpackaged files from a
directory that's disappearing as part of this package operation
(either the old package becomes uninstalled, or the package previously
delivering that dir action stops delivering it)
So, this might look like:
set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/runtime/[email protected]
dir path=usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
salvage-from=var/ruby/1.8/gem_home
Note that salvage-from isn't recursive, so if you have multiple
*packaged* directories beneath /var/ruby that each contain unpackaged
content, then you'll need multiple dir actions, each with their own
'salvage-from' attribute, for each directory that's being migrated.
If any unpackaged content in a given packaged directory has unpackaged
subdirectories and files, that content is moved recursively though.
cheers,
tim
