Hi,<br>
<br>
All you ever wanted to know about patch metadata and URIs to link to
patch README & downloads...<br>
<br>
Gerry Haskins posted the following blog yesterday:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blogs.oracle.com/patch/entry/useful_patch_related_downloads">http://blogs.oracle.com/patch/entry/useful_patch_related_downloads</a><br>
<br>
Interesting stuff which is well worth a read...<br>
Please don't be shy about posting a comments on Gerry's blog if
you've something to add :-)<br>
