Re: [pca] patchdiag.xref inconsistency

[Don O'Malley]

Hi Martin, I followed up with the team that generates patchdiag on Friday. There was a recent code change to better handle EOL patches that triggered the issue you reported on Friday. All should be fixed now.

In the current patchdiag.xref (Oct/02/11) the state of 119081-25 has been reverted to active (not obsolete) again. Same for the other 7 patches that were affected (106922, 108982, 109082, 109647, 117662, 117851, 119070). So everything is fine again. I also checked for other possible problematic patches with this command:   grep '|O|' patchdiag.xref | egrep -vi "Obsoleted by|withdrawn" It only comes up with 4 old revisions of 118822 now, which are marked Obsolete and Bad, which is not a problem. If you ever find an explanation for how this happened, I'd be interested to hear about it!
