They have several versions/updates of the actual Rollup or R02. Until
you see hotfixes emerge with a R02 dependency I would assume they could
release another version/update. In addition if you don't keep up with
these deployments it seems the first prereq for support is to
deploy/test the roll up....
Therefore the best time to trust the rollup in my humble opinion (after
testing) is when they are finally done.
This last run I had almost every hotfix they offered so I could
therefore just wait.
Either way I am in complete agreement/understanding of all you posted.
Mark

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...?

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?
