[pca] patch flood

2013-02-08 Thread Martin Paul
Judging from today's patch flood, it's pretty sure that Solaris 10U11 is 
right around the corner :)


As usual, I installed all the new patches with PCA on both sparc and x86 
- works fine. Users of PCA's --safe option might want to get the 
current development release, where I added some whitelist entries.

To see whats new in the Kernel check:
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readmearu=15949457

even though you won't find any detailed infos on the BUG ids :)

(7101142 allow datasets with crypto present to be imported in Solaris 10
) happy guessing if they backported crypto :)

Hi Martin/All,

Yes, the imminent release of s10u11 is what's triggering the release
of these patches!

The key patches are the s10u11 KU patches - 147147-26 on SPARC and
147148-26 on x86.
Please take the time to read the Special Install Instructions for
these patches prior to applying them to your systems to avoid any
surprises.

If anyone finds any issues with any of the new patches, please do
post to this alias (in addition to filing a Service Request of
course!) and I will follow up.

I'll send on details of the s10u11 announcements to the PCA alias
too in due course.

Best,
-Don

Don

Too many of the previous GA kernels were alas defective and it is not inspiring 
to use the initial release to be honest... Does that patch include a lot of new 
features ? Or is it just a big maintenance patch ?

Regards

Gael
