now then, next item on the hit list is 118822-12 which is a kernel patch
from way back that is listed in the patchdiag.xref file thus :
core-sparc-SunOS5.10 # grep ^118822\|12 ../xref/patchdiag.xref
118822|12|| |S|O| B|10|119578-03;||SunOS 5.10: kernel Patch
I see four old revisions of 118822 in xref, which are marked BAD and OBSOLETE:
118822|12|| |S|O| B|10|...
118822|14|| |S|O| B|10|...
118822|15|| |S|O| B|10|...
118822|21|| |S|O| B|10|...
No idea why they're included. I think this came up before, but no one could
provide an explanation yet. Do you have a real problem with these entries, or
are you just wondering why they're there?
Well, there is this silly idea that I have that a single graph can
be made in which every patch in the patchdiag.xref can be plotted
with its dependencies connected. There seems to be a few oddball
points in there. Well, a few where the patch number exists and then
multiple revs that make no sense. See above. :-\
So I am guessing that the O in the sixth field means Obsolete ?
Yes. So they can be ignored.
perfect , thanks !
