[pca] patch flood

[Brookins, Neil (Philadelphia)]

Patch 147147-26 has the "Recommended" flag set. I see this in the output of the "pca -l missing" and also "pca -l missingr"
However, the patchdiag.xref for the same patch does NOT have the "Recommended" flag set.
As a result, "pca -l --minimal missingr" does not list 147147-26.

I first noticed this on Friday, and I was expecting patchdiag.xref would have been updated over the weekend. But it's the same today.
Am I correct that the patchdiag.xref should have this flag set? Maybe I just need to wait until tomorrow?

Hi Martin/All,

Yes, the imminent release of s10u11 is what's triggering the release of these patches!

The key patches are the s10u11 KU patches - 147147-26 on SPARC and 147148-26 on x86.
Please take the time to read the Special Install Instructions for these patches prior to applying them to your systems to avoid any surprises.

If anyone finds any issues with any of the new patches, please do post to this alias (in addition to filing a Service Request of course!) and I will follow up.

I'll send on details of the s10u11 announcements to the PCA alias too in due course.

Best,
-Don

Judging from today's patch flood, it's pretty sure that Solaris 10U11 is right around the corner :)

As usual, I installed all the new patches with PCA on both sparc and x86 - works fine. Users of PCA's "--safe" option might want to get the current development release, where I added some whitelist entries.

Martin.
