Packages are periodically updated so you will not find older versions. Libiconv comes with AIX base OS, so we are providing it in the Toolbox. 

Make use of yum for installing these packages. All you need to do is download the yum.sh script mentioned in the above link and run it. It will setup everything and then you can use yum install <package>.

We tested above packages and it work with our application.

If we need to use the above ( since it is not available in  http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html ) , can we bundle the above rpm files with our product ? Do we need to go through any OSS approval ?

Kindly advice.

I think that depends on your company policies. For AIX Toolbox rpms , these are the licensing conditions --> http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/altlic.html

Then from where did you get all the packages ? yum.sh set repository as aixtoolbox and any packages installed then via yum is from from aix toolbox for which web page is ( http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html)

As Ayappan said it depends on your company policy how you want to use/distribute these packages with your software.

only maintain the latest version of rpm . We need the older version of rpm .Eg

atk-1.32.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Toolbox already at v2.20.0

The team obtain it from the open source website .

If you are building it yourself and providing it with you product then consider they should not conflict with other RPMs from other sources.

If someone has your product and your provided RPMs installed and goes and install something from AIX toolbox then he might overwrite if both RPMs binary get installed at same location.

One solution I can think of is if you provide you bundle and that gets installed at a different location then default and only known to your product.

In this way your product can use the binaries you provided and customers can still install software from other sources and still they will not conflict.

 

Thanks
