Re: [pca] Solaris 10 1/13 preinstalled patches

2013-02-13 Thread Don O'Malley

  
  
Thanks for the further investigation Martin! I'll follow up.

There is nothing to prevent those patches being added to a system
installed with s10u11, so it would seem prudent to add the Security
fixes indicated below in the case where the patch pkgs are installed
systems. (I've provided details of the pkgs delivered in the 2
patches that you've pointed out below for ease of reference.)

As a general rule of thumb, it is always advisable to apply the
latest Recommended Patchset after installing/upgrading to the latest
Solaris Update to get any fixes relesed after the Solaris Update (or
in this case not delivered as part of the update itself).

Best,
-Don

  It's kind of strange to get a Solaris release in Feb 2013 with
  existing security fixes from up to a year ago not being fixed out

[pca] Solaris 10 1/13 preinstalled patches

2013-02-11 Thread Martin Paul

Hi Don/all,

A PCA user, who already installed Solaris 10 1/13, wondered why some 
rather old patches are not pre-installed (see below). As I've seen that 
happen with previous update releases, too, I've wondered about the same 
thing - does anybody have an idea about why certain - really old - 
patches are excluded?
