Hi
I looked at Soalris 10 6/06 SUNWsibi and compared the contents to the
current generic patches ( including t-patches ) for SPARC
Apparently the following deliver conflicting files with SUNWsibi in 6/06
118822-30
118833-27
120537-05
120990-02
122650-02
and the conflicting files in above are:
118833-27/SUNWcsr/reloc/lib/svc/method/devices-local
120537-05/SUNWcsr/reloc/lib/svc/method/fs-usr
118822-30/SUNWcsr/reloc/lib/svc/method/fs-usr
120990-02/SUNWcsr/reloc/lib/svc/method/net-physical
118833-27/SUNWcsr/reloc/var/svc/manifest/network/rpc/bind.xml
118822-30/SUNWcsr/reloc/var/svc/manifest/system/filesystem/usr-fs.xml
118833-27/SUNWcsr/reloc/var/svc/manifest/system/system-log.xml
( note 118833-27 is a rejuvenation of 118822-30, so 118822-30 cannot be
up-revved easily )
Now we do have a generic patch that delivers SUNWsibi. Not clear if we
could have it also redeliver these files?
As SUNWsibi only exists in the miniroot, there should be no problem with
it overwritting the generic fs-usr say in SUNWcsr that is on a live
system, that is SUNWsibi shoudl not exist on a live system.
Maybe have customers install this patch to the miniroot if they run
patcahdd -C?
But it also delivers other packages as well as SUNWsibi, but it it a
specific miniroot patch as NOTE 1 in the readme indicates.
Bad idea in general to have two patches delivering the same objects with
no hard relationship (SUNW_REQUIRES or SUNW_OBSOLETES ) but..
