  • Ingres Patch Release Date

    From Steve@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 28 07:30:04 2020
    How does one determine the release date of an Ingres patch? I may have missed it, but I don't see any date in the patch notes. Should I simply base it on the timestamp of the files in the tar download?

    Thanks
    Steve

    There should be a 'patchbugs' download on the ESD site which lists the fixes included in each patch along with the date of the patch.

    From the host on which Ingres is running I do as you suggest and look at the timestamp of the installation files. On a linux platform I might use something like this:
    ls -l --full-time ${II_SYSTEM}/ingres/lib/iimerge.a | awk '{print $6}'

    (It might not exactly match the date in the patchbugs doc but is usually pretty close).
