Hi, Script not download the latest patch for XS65SP1 Hotfix XS65ESP1016 - For XenServer 6.5.0 Service Pack 1 - https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX202619.

I can confirm that this patch is missing, since its a security update, this should be a prio.

I saw also the following, i have 2 server, 1 in production, 1 new installed now. After manualy, installing above, i see, also patch XS65E017 installed. Running patcher on the production server, i get no updates available. but it does say ( in the windows console ),
not applied, : XS65E017
XS65ESP1016

so these 2 are related.

These updates are not includes in the http://updates.xensource.com/XenServer/updates.xml. Only see on http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX138115#XenServer 6.5.

Seeing as though we're reliant on Citrix's RSS feed to deliver the list of pending updates, I'm not sure that there's much to do here. I could probably code in a 'forced-includes', but that would involve some development effort which I don't currently have time for. The URL always meets a particular format for downloading, so that shouldn't be a problem; ie:

http://support.citrix.com/filedownload/CTX202619/XS65ESP1016.zip

As a suggestion perhaps could keep a online list of updates on github. This can be maintained by users.

dalgibbard commented 8 years ago

Indeed, it would be. The fiddly things for consideration are how we match these in with the other lists (Citrix RSS, auto exclusions, manual exclusions). ie:

Where do we get the UUID from?
How do we strip duplicates if the patch already exists in the Citrix RSS?
Do 'manual-install' patches override exclusions files? If so, which ones, or both?

It's reasonably trivial I guess.

Before your script, i have for a time use another script (Dont rememb the source.). I have a sample for the file containig all parameter needed in the format: XS62E015|c8b9d332-30e4-4e5e-9a2a-8aaae6dee91a|downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/akdlm/9279/XS62E015.zip|http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX140808

Patches manualy added from citrix support page, including UUID.

I wil test reaply existing patch, but i think this causes an return " Patch alredy applied" and dont causes any trouble.

Hi, Now script download XS65SP1016 and this patch_url: http://support.citrix.com/filedownload/CTX202618/XS65E017.zip, so please add this patch to exclude list.

dalgibbard commented 8 years ago

Have updated the excludes list with all of the items in https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX203494

I'm suspecting that Citrix where holding off on adding 016 to the XML feed as they knew there was a cumulative patch coming up perhaps? I'm going to drop this ticket for now, as i'm not too keen on the idea of having to work around Citrix's shortfalls :)

Exclusions were updated in commit 1d675e3
