Sun Connection is very easy to use to manage updates and is all you're
likely to need in a *production* environment. So I don't understand
your compliant. Given that you have never indicated actual usage of
it, I think it is unfair for you to be critical of it.
That's a whole different issue.
I can be critical of the Sun Update Connection because I was a paying
customer for one year.
To be fair and objective (and not be a "Sun PR channel", as some feel) Sun
Update connection never worked right.
It is slow.
It shows patches for Solaris 8 on a Solaris 10 system.
It shows patches for Solaris 10 for packages which are on the system and
which subsequently fail installation.
It shows patches for Sun Studio which fail installation.
It shows all these patches again.
It is slow.
It is written in Java.
It is slow.
It is ugly.
It is written in Java.
It is slow.
Oh, and did I mention that it is written in Java and slow?
And guess what? I did not renew my subscription.
I mean, I've read about Sun's own engineers writing something to the effect
of "more than five years have passed and we still didn't get the online
update process working right."
I just wish I'd remember where I read it so that I could quote it, so it's
not all "hear-tell".
