[pca] Duplicate patches

[Fredrich Maney]

All,

I've run into something rather frustrating. Namely that the finish
scripts for patching expect patches to be an extracted patch cluster
- i.e. a directory containing a patch_order file and subdirectories
for each patch; while PCA looks for individual zip archives for each
patch. This is forcing me to store every patch at least twice - once
in a repository for PCA as a zip file, and once for every patch cluster
that I have for my Jumpstart environment.

For example, for Jumpstart:
/jumpstart/Patches/10_Recommended/patches/141588-04
/jumpstart/Patches/10_Recommended/patches/141899-03

And for PCA:
/patchrep/141588-04.zip
/patchrep/141899-03.zip

Ideally I'd like to just have to store one copy of the patch in
some sort of compressed manner. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how I could accomplish consolidating these?

Thanks,
fpsm
