Jamen, I use --patchdir
Example: # download a patch and display readme sudo /var/tmp/pca --download 138627 --patchdir="/var/tmp/pcatmp" --readme I find --xrefdir usefully as well.

We created a softlink from /var/sadm/pkg to /apps/sadm/pkg (due to space issues), but now patchadd always fails: Directory is expected, found link - /var/sadm/pkg. Failed (exit code 1) Showrev -p does fine; and downloading the patches with pca -d does fine as well. It's just the actual installation of the patches where it fails. I'm pretty sure I had this fixed before, but honestly, I don't remember what I did (plan to DOCUMENT what I do this time!). Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
