Not quite understanding what you're getting at but here is the basic
process:

 

              Citrix creates hotfixes to address issues found in the
product.

              Citrix may rollup a hotfix into another hotfix if both hotfix
contains like binaries.

              Every so often, Citrix will take the hotfixes today and create
a single installer and call it a Rollup.

 

If you take R02 for PS 4 as an example:  R02 contains all the hotfixes that
have been released since the base product was released.

 

The general rule of thumb for installing Rollup and Hotfixes are:

              Apply the lasted Rollup

              Apply recommended post-rollup hotfixes (These are seen from
time, particularly printing)

Apply additional post-rollup hotfixes on as needed bases (to address a
particular issue you're encountering)

I have taken the attitude to (unless there is a major issue) wait to deploy
the Rollup until they are done with new versions.  Considering they started
creating hotfixes with the rollup as a dependency would spell out that no
new versions of the roll up will be made. 

 

That is my take on it. How do you guys move on these patches..certainly not
right away.?

PSE400 - Presentation Server 4.0

R02 - post Rollup 02

W2K3 - OS level

011 - patch level

 

Rollups continue.

The Hotfixes still require the Rollup 2 to be installed.    I don't see
Citrix moving away from that anytime soon.   It does seem that they have
moved away from calling them servicepacks.

Joe,

 

I guess that means the versions of the Roll up are over..might be time to
move that way. I personally have been waiting it out. Anyone out there on
the cutting edge?
