That's new to me, but as Richard says - the current revisions of the Sun Ray 
Server Software patches are not listed in patchdiag.xref. This is valid for both 
SPARC and x86 (and Linux, so this is not an x86-only issue).

The patchdiag.xref has revision 05 of 140993/140994/140995, while the latest 
revision for all these patches is 07, as listed on:

   http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/Latest_News

The current patches for the Sun Ray Data Store (145212-02/145213-02/145214-02) 
are completely absent from patchdiag.xref.

I have seen no notification of any change in the Sun Ray patch policy, and I see 
no technical reason why the patches shouldn't be available like all other 
patches, so I hope it's just an accident. Maybe Don can find out?

Martin.
