Re: [pca] Tweaking patchdiag.xref
Hi, Am 17.02.2014 um 10:04 schrieb Martin Paul martin.p...@univie.ac.at: I don't have a straight solution for your task, but here are some ideas: 1) Is there any better way to do it? Try using pca --minimal missingr. The minimal option will make PCA work with the list of patches in the Recommended Patch Set. So this command should give you a list of missing applicable patches. When feeding PCA an empty showrev output (simulating an unpatches system), you should get the complete number of applicable patches. Isn’t mkxref from http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/contrib.html exactly what you are looking for? 2) is pca considering that info (field #10)? yes, it uses it to determine whether a patch is applicable or not. 3) If yes, does anybody have any tip where can I extract that info from? besides patchdiag.xref? The VERSION line in the pkg/pkginfo files, to be found in the extracted patch zip file. 4) Did anybody have a requirement like this before? (compare against a fixed set of patches) Not me.

Oh, and we use it (or a variant of it) to create xrefs for Veritas patches that aren't included in Oracle's xref. - Chuck Floyd On Feb 17, 2014, at 5:31 AM, Martin Paul martin.p...@univie.ac.at wrote: Am 17.02.2014 11:02, schrieb Dagobert Michelsen: Isn’t mkxref from http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/contrib.html exactly what you are looking for?
