Hello, Your pca program is excellent, but I'm running into a couple of issues, and your comments are most welcome!
1. We discovered that PCA, when downloading "recommended and security" patches will identify *many* more patches than Sun bundles in their "Recommended" bundle! (this appears to be a problem with Sun marking them as "recommended", but then for some reason, not including them in their own bundles), but this is a good thing, as we need to also install the extra's that PCA notices. In any event, we want to build our own bundles based on what PCA is telling us, but the problem is...PCA doesn't build a "patch_order" file for us to order our patches...which is something SUN provides in their bundles. This leaves me in a catch-22: on one hand, PCA identifies the patches we need, but we cannot use it because we don't know the order to patch in, and At the same time, Sun's recommended bundles lacks several patches we need (PCI audit) and it's a ton of work to to identify those extra patches and download separatly. Either choice is painful. Any ideas for getting around this would really help! 2. When I request PCA to download a specific Solaris patch(s) for installation later, PCA doesn't appear to also bring down it's dependent patches. Is there a way to do this using PCA? Please reply to my email, as I'm not a registered commenter yet!
