Hi, the syspatch utility for now knows only three options: -c(heck for available plugins and list them) -l(ist installed patches - "id"'s only) -r(evert most recent patch) .. and recently apparently also -R(evert all patches)
Here are two additional features that would be very useful: 1) -L(ist files of the recent patch) For now, i'm doing that with: tar tzf /var/syspatch/"$(ls -tr /var/syspatch/ | tail -n 1)"/*.tgz 2) Notion of transactions Often, more patches are installed at once, with the single `syspatch` command. One might want to be able to revert all those patches at once as well. A notion of transactions could be made by adding a notion of transactions, but that would add more unnecessary complexity. It can be solved simpler way, by adding the line with the list of patches applied, e.g. # syspatch Installing patch 005_pf_src_tracking Get/Verify syspatch61-006_libssl.tgz 100% |*************| 2276 KB 00:04 Installing patch 006_libssl Get/Verify syspatch61-007_freetyp... 100% |*************| 732 KB 00:01 Installing patch 007_freetype Missing set, skipping patch 007_freetype Patches applied: 5,6 and by adding support for -r optional argument, which could be comma separated patch number list. (And this optional argument support would be also nice for the proposed -L option) thanks for very handy feature, Michal Bozon
