Fewer patches displayed
Because of the way these new patch kits are designed, you will see many fewer patches listed by dupatch during the installation process. For example, a partial listing you see will be similar to the following:
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B / Security Related Patches:
* Patch 27001.00 - SP04 OSFACCT540
* Patch 27002.00 - SP04 OSFADVFS540 (SSRT2275)
* Patch 27003.00 - SP04 OSFADVFSBIN540 |
In the old-style patch kits, these three patches might have consisted of perhaps 20 individual patches being displayed. The difference is not in the content of the kits, but rather in the way the patches are packaged and installed. In this example, the SPO4 identifies the patch as belonging to Version 5.1B-2 (Patch Kit 4), the OSF...540 identifies the subset the patch is included in, and the SSRT2275 indicates a type of security patch.
