loading critical patch into a depot question

Kirk Reindl — Thu, 24 May 2001 14:58:12 GMT

Hi,

I have a situational patch question that I can't seem to find a answer in the patch white papers.

OS 10.20

This pertains only to a depot. Let's say I get critical PATCH_A. I want to load it in my patch depot. Let's say PATCH_A supersedes PATCH_B which belongs to a patch bundle. When I install PATCH_A into the patch depot, Will PATCH_B automatically be removed from the patch bundle??? Or will the clean up utility do this??

Thanks,

Kirk Reindl

The cleanup command will do this for you when run with the '-d absolute_path_to_depot' option.

Excerpt from man page on the '-d' option:

When run in this mode, cleanup determines which patches in the
software depot have been superseded by newer patches also
available from the depot. Upon confirmation from the user,
these superseded patches will be removed from the software
depot.

Si te da miedo la instalacion del parche , puedes deshacer el mirror de los discos antes de instalar el parche , si todo va bien , luego vuelves a reconstruir el mirror , y si va mal , botas del otro disco y haces el mirror al reves , eso te garantizara que te encuentres en la situacion anterior a la instalacion del parche
