Hi all
Oracle stopped supporting smpatch which used getupdates.oracle.com.
A few MOS Docs are already updated.
updates.oracle.com is the new URL
for patchdiag.xref and for patch download.

Hi Jeff (and everybody still reading this),
it’s been a long time since messages popped up on this mailing list :)
I took a look, and it seems as if getupdates.oracle.com
<http://getupdates.oracle.com> still exists, but the SSL certificate is
invalid for that hostname:
/usr/bin/wget --progress=dot:binary --ca-certificate=./pca -O
/var/tmp/patchdiag.xref

I looked at the certificate details of https://getupdates.oracle.com
<https://getupdates.oracle.com> in the browser, and it seems as if the
certificate is for peo-eas-esps-prod.oracle.com
<http://peo-eas-esps-prod.oracle.com> and has a lot of alternative names
(e.g. updates.oracle.com <http://updates.oracle.com>), but
getupdates.oracle.com <http://getupdates.oracle.com> is missing in this
list, and the certificate is therefore not valid for that hostname.
Unfortunately Don O’Malley doesn’t seem to work for Oracle anymore, but
back in 2018 he told me about two other guys working for the patch team.
I contacted them, let’s see if they can get the certficate fixed so PCA
would work out of the box again.
Until then, everybody still using PCA can use Jeff’s workaround.
Best,
Martin.

The hostname for downloading patchdiag.xref appears to have changed
from getupdates.oracle.com <http://getupdates.oracle.com> to
updates.oracle.com <http://updates.oracle.com>.
Of course you can fix this by adding the following to your .pca file:
ohost=updates.oracle.com <http://updates.oracle.com>
