As we prepare to his DST again, I sat in the open mic call this morning. A simple request to Lotus..

I previously did posts and podcasts on this topic (I even took a humorous slant after upgrading countless servers).

  • Listen to Episode 28 with Scott of Lotus that not only got downloaded an amazing number of times, but had tons of info.
  • Listen to Episode 27 with Andy and Rob of Technotics as we talk all about DST impact

But I noticed one thing from listening to the callers this morning.  A lot of people have been doing upgrades, changes and deploying applications since the last DST time change.  Yet everyone has the same question.  What version has what fix and if I upgrade is it done?

So Lotus, we need a simple scenario listing in a whitepaper or technote that shows the outcome of where they are now and what steps are needed.  Such as:
  •  you already patched for spring and have not changed the server code
  • you patched for spring and have now upgraded to X.xx version
  • you just installed version 7.0.2, is there any patches I need or is it included?
  • you were in a version 6.5.x and patched in spring, we then upgraded to 6.5.6.  Do I have to repatch?
  • Other countries are now going into time changes, so if I have international servers/users I now need to patch those? (like Australia and Brazil)
