how to build a patch package on solaris?

pkgadd -d [packagge name]

Or if it's not adding a package you're after, but building one, try:

Hope this helps.

Thanx a lot. But I want to create a patch package. I mean, just installing a patch on the already-installed package. And how to remove only patch and the entire package?

You can do

#patchadd

example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02

The following example installs a patch to a client from the
server's console:

example# patchadd -R /export/root/client1
/var/spool/patch/104945-02

The following example installs a patch to a service from the
server's console:

example# patchadd -S Solaris_2.3
/var/spool/patch/104945-02

And if u want to remove a patch then u can use

#patchrm


example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02

The following example installs a patch to a client from the
server's console:

example# patchadd -R /export/root/client1
/var/spool/patch/104945-02

The following example installs a patch to a service from the
server's console:

example# patchadd -S Solaris_2.3
/var/spool/patch/104945-02

Hope this helps u

Oh....I'm not talking about the patches of Solaris, but the patch of my own package. i.e., I want to create a patch package, and I want to remove only patch. I don't think the above commands can be used to remove the patches of the user-created-package. Am I right?

Read my earlier mail pointing you to the 'how to' site. Cheers.

That link tells how to create a complete package, but not about patch packages.
