A new release of PCA has just been published. Here's a list of new features and 
changes:

  * Allow multiple URLs and paths for xrefurl/patchurl options
  * Add special keyword "oracle" for xrefurl/patchurl options
  * Catch unknown type of URLS in xrefurl/patchurl options
  * Change behaviour of "ignore" option
  * Add new format specifier (%d) to show patch release date
  * Add link to patch README on wesunsolve.net in HTML output
  * Fix wrong behaviour when ignoring required patch revisions
  * Workaround for a bug in wget 1.13.3
  * Show required patches which are ignored in debug output
  * Documentation: Update description of the "ignore" option
  * Documentation: Remove information about "dontask"
  * Whitelist: add 147714
  * Whitelist: add 147268, 147269
  * Whitelist: add 147440, 147441
  * Whitelist: add 119906, 119907
  * Update list of contributors

When xrefurl/patchurl is set and the requested file cannot be found there, PCA 
will not look at Oracle's server by default anymore. Get the old behaviour by 
adding the special keyword "oracle" at the end of xrefurl/patchurl (which now 
accept multiple URLs).

Patches which are specified via the ignore option are now ignored even when they 
are required by other patches.

Update:
   pca --update now
